Endovascular Radial Artery Sacrifice in an Unsalvageable Transradial Access Site Bleeding due to Cutting Balloon Angioplasty.

ABSTRACT: The radial artery access site laceration is rare. We hereby described a case of radial artery access site laceration during retrieval of a cutting balloon. The bleeding site was not responsive to hemostatic maneuvers such as application of an external blood pressure cuff, balloon inflation, and an external compression bandage and was eventually coil embolized. Sacrifice using endovascular coiling averted surgical ligation which was the alternative.
