We report a rare case of radial arteriovenous fistula in a middle-aged person after a successful transradial percutaneous coronary intervention. Early release of manual radial compression was the culprit behind the development of radial arteriovenous fistula. Early surgical repair of the radial arteriovenous fistula resulted in the complete resolution of distal forearm symptoms in the abovementioned patient. It is advised for young interventional cardiologists to apply a compressive bandage over the radial artery for a minimum period of one hour to get rid of this extremely rare complication.
