English abstract
The accordion phenomenon is a well-known finding mechanism in the field of interventional
cardiology. It is a benign condition and has mainly been described in tortuous coronary arteries during percutaneous
coronary interventions. It is believed to be induced by a stiff guidewire. However, this phenomenon has not been
observed previously in the radial artery. We present a case of accordion phenomenon in the radial artery, which
was successfully resolved after the catheters and the wire were retrieved, with the pseudolesions found to have
completely disappeared in subsequent image findings.
