We report interventional management of critical hand ischemia after transradial coronary angiography. The radial artery occlusion was confirmed by Doppler ultrasound and digital subtraction angiography. The radial artery was opened using retrograde recanalization technics through the palmar arch. After guidewire passage the proximal occlusion site was stented with balloon expandable drug eluting stent, and the distal segment underwent balloon angioplasty. The report discusses the potential risks and advantages of angioplasty in the treatment of a symptomatic radial artery occlusion and the retrograde recanalization technique via the palmar arch.

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
