ABSTRACT
A 67-year-old man underwent coronary angiography using a transradial approach. Three months after coronary angiography, the patient complained of a thrill detected in his right wrist. Localized compression was performed in the assumption of arteriovenous fistula formation. Since thrill was still detected after localized compression, surgical revision of an arteriovenous fistula was performed. Six days later, radial bruit was still reported. It was decided to perform upper extremity angiography. Upper extremity angiography revealed the remaining arteriovenous fistula from radial artery to cephalic vein, and surgical revision was performed again. This appears to be a very unusual complication related to the transradial approach for coronary angiography.
