Abstract
A 47-year-old diabetic man with unstable angina underwent coronary bypass surgery using bilateral radial arteries and left internal thoracic artery. After surgery, the patient suffered from severe right arm pain and swelling without any bleeding. The postoperative immediate digital subtraction angiogram detected thrombotic occlusion of the right axillary vein. We report here a rare case of deep vein thombosis related to radial artery harvesting.
