Abstract

Radial access for coronary angiography has increased worldwide since its original description. The transradial approach generates fewer vascular complications than the transfemoral one. We report the case of a 41-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia and smoking, who was diagnosed with an acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation,
undergoing for primary coronary angioplasty via the right transradial access. It evolves with a post-procedure radial arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Due to ischemic complications of the right upper limb secondary to radial AVF, surgical treatment is decided.
