Abstract
A 59-year-old male, with a history of angiogram via the left radial artery during the workup for multi-trauma, presented to the hand clinic with a 14-day history of progressive critical ischemia in the left thumb and index finger, along with dry gangrene of the distal index fingertip. Radial artery occlusion was confirmed on imaging. The patient underwent radial artery thrombectomy, arterial reconstruction with vein graft, and amputation of the index fingertip. Postoperatively, perfusion to the thumb and index finger was restored, resulting in the resolution of associated pain and hypersensitivity. This case demonstrates the delayed presentation of ischemia following radial artery cannulation, which was successfully managed with radial artery thrombectomy and a saphenous vein graft.
