Abstract

A case of digital ischaemia following radial artery cannulation is described. The ischaemia developed following three hours hypotension seven days after the radial artery cannula had been removed. Patients with a thrombosed radial artery and a poor ulnar collateral circulation should be identified pre-operatively.
