Commentary: Hematomas, Compartment Syndrome, and Boney Infarcts: Potential Melancholy for Dorsal Radial Access?

01/31/2019

Ian C. Gilchrist, MD

Koutouzis et al(1) offer one of the first reports in a journal of hematoma encountered after dorsal radial access, although several other reports of hematoma and even pseudoaneurysm(2) have already appeared on social media.

Koutouzis et al(1) offer one of...
