As reported, during a cerebral angiogram via access in the radial artery, the wire included in a micropuncture transitionless stiffened cannula access set separated.The patient was taken to the cath lab for the angiogram two days after being admitted to the hospital for a stroke (on day 3 of admission).During the procedure, the micropuncture wire separated in the soft tissue versus the right radial artery, near the puncture site, and was unable to be removed.Radial access was aborted and access was obtained in the groin.The radial pulse was present and the right ulnar artery was patent.After the procedure, a vascular surgeon was consulted.The patient was taken to surgery the following day (day 4 of admission) for removal of the wire fragment and repair of the right radial artery.The patient tolerated the procedure well and once stable, was discharged to home the next day (day 5 of admission).
