We present the case of a patient with acute upper limb ischemia after radial artery harvest for coronary artery bypass grafting. This occurred despite adequate preoperative and intraoperative assessment with the Allen test, hand-held Doppler and radial artery backbleeding. A successful outcome was achieved by performing brachioradial bypass grafting using reversed cephalic vein.
