Abstract
Donor site complications after radial artery harvesting for coronary revascularization have been primarily wound related and parasthesias. Forearm muscle compartment syndrome has only been reported once. A patient underwent successful coronary revascularization with a radial artery graft; however his forearm extensor muscles necrosed, possibly from a missed compartment syndrome, and he required tendon transfers to provide finger and wrist extension.
