Abstract
Radial artery is one of the intervention cites for coronary angiography and has an increased tendency according to the successful results in the literature. However, some undesirable clinical situations may occur by using this route as with every invasive intervention. In this study, we presented a patient who had left upper limb ischemia following transradial angiography. An intimal flap with an approximate length of 15 cm was removed during embolectomy from the brachial artery. After multiple embolectomy procedures, axillo-brachial bypass was performed using the saphenous vein. However, ischemia in the forearm did not improve and limb loss occurred.
