ABSTRACT
The transradial access approach is a well-established route for coronary angiography and percutaneous intervention, given its lower complication rate over the transfemoral route. However, complications are still apparent, some of which can lead to serious injury. We report a case of delayed diagnosis of localized compartment syndrome, caused by haematoma and pseudoaneurysm formation following a radial procedure which resulted in long term disability. We emphasize the importance of early recognition and diagnosis of compartment syndrome to avoid long term sequalae.
