Abstract: After percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the patient developed symptoms of pain, sensory impairment, paralysis, pallor of the skin, and pain during passive extension, and was diagnosed with PCI-induced antebrachial compartment syndrome. Since it was considered to be blood stasis and water stasis in Oriental medicine, we administered jidabokuippo and keishibukuryogan to the patient. Then the subjective and objective symptoms improved promptly, and the symptoms disappeared by the 10th day after the operation. The patient was able to discontinue jidabokuippo 14 days after the operation. It was suggested that the symptomatic treatment with Kampo medicine is effective for compartment syndrome.
