Rumpel - Leede phenomenon (RLP) was described as early 1909 by Theodore Rumpel and by Stockbridge Leede in 1911 in patients suffering from scarlet fever. Acute development of petechial rashes distal to the application of blood flow occlusive devices such as a blood pressure cuff or tight wrapped bandage, is a typical finding in this phenomenon. Multiple isolated cases of RLP associated with coronary angiogram have been reported. In this report, we present a case of a 53-year-old male who developed RLP after percutaneous intervention of the proximal-mid left anterior descending artery after application of a sphygmomanometer cuff to contain a right forearm hematoma and application of a trans-radial band. We here discuss the etiopathogenesis and management of RLP that develops post coronary angiogram.
