ABSTRACT
Radial diagnostic angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention have been shown to be safe and feasible with fewer major complications in comparison with the femoral approach. Despite their safety profile, occasional vascular complications do still occur. We present a case of a brachial artery perforation treated successfully by the deployment of a covered stent designed for coronary intervention. We believe we are the first to describe this technique, which may provide an alternative to vascular surgery in such a situation.
