case_images: Eighteen hours after thrombolysis (12 h post coronary angioplasty), a large compartment haematoma was observed in his right arm (no previous attempt was made to insert an arterial line into the brachial artery for monitoring) (Figure 1: Panel A1). Emergent computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed contrast extravasation from the distal part of the brachial artery, accompanied by a haematoma (Figure 1: Panels B1-B3). A balloon expandable stent graft 5 x 38 mm (Bentley InnoMed GmbH, Germany) was deployed in the right brachial artery (Figure 1: Panels C1-C3).
