The transradial approach to cardiac catheterization is popular and safe, but prolonged, aggressive hemostatic compression at the access site may lead to vascular and/or neurologic complications, either transient or permanent. Rarely, chronic regional pain syndrome 1 (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) may occur. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2002;57:537–540. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
