We describe a case of a compartment syndrome after transulnar coronary intervention. As far as we are aware of, this is the first report of such a complication after a transulnar approach described in the literature. Compartment syndrome is a very rare but possibly devastating complication of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary interventions. We retrospectively observed an incidence rate of 0.007% after 13,948 coronary angiographies or 0.013% after 7532 interventions performed through the wrist in our centre in the last 5 years. Rapid recognition and treatment of this rare complication may prevent long-term morbidity and are thus of utmost importance. General measures should be taken to reduce this incidence of this serious complication.
