Figure

• 

  Figure 1 Radial arterial angiography via sheath at right anatomical snuffbox revealed intraluminal hazziness at previous radial puncture site for transrdial intervention 10 years ago.

• 

  Figure 2 A tomographic image of recanalized radial artery revealed a lotus root-like appearance. Co-registration image and long view provided the information of lesion location.

  Figure 3 Three-dimentional reconstruction of the recanalization thrombosis in fly-through mode (A) and in navigation mode (B) of optical coherence tomography image.
