Abstract
Although balloon angioplasty in heart and lower extremity vessels has been extensively studied and reported, little information exists regarding its use for digital ischemia in the hand. We report a case of successful balloon angioplasty of the distal radial artery to reverse present and prevent further digital tip cyanosis and necrosis.
