The patient hadfingers gangrene in spite of the removal of the catheter, elevation and heating of the hand, systemic anticoagulation therapy, stellate ganglion blockade, and peripheral circulatory regulator therapy. Any evidence of hand ischemia after radial artery cannulation should be aggressively investigated and promptly treated in order to prevent morbidity and necrosis of the hand.
