title: Radial Artery Embolism: A Rare Complication of Angioplasty.
abstract: We present a 55-year-old man with multivessel coronary artery disease previously treated with stenting of the left main, left anterior descending, right coronary, circumflex, and first diagonal branch. He was diagnosed with in-stent restenosis of a diagonal branch, but treatment was complicated by radial artery coronary embolism, which is a rare complication of radial intervention.
