Methods
We reviewed the records of all patients presenting to the vascular surgery service with acute hand ischemia after radial artery cannulation between July 1999 and June 2004. These patients were indexed from the institutional operative database, the vascular morbidity and mortality registry, and records of vascular surgery consultations during the study period. Subjects without a clear history of radial artery cannulation for hemodynamic monitoring (eg, patients undergoing transradial cannulation

2019, Journal of Hand SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Although vasodilators and anticoagulation can prevent RAO, there is insufficient evidence to support their independent use in the treatment of RAO. Valentine et al12 reported on a patient with acute RAO and spasms of the ulnar, palmar, and interosseous arteries, which were treated successfully with intra-arterial verapamil. Another patient in this series experienced some improvement of ischemia symptoms after oral nifedipine treatment for acute RAO.
