Hello,
As per my clinical experience, pain in left arm may be in concern with angiography catheter related issue as thrombophlebitis if the same was performed through left radial artery. Kindly provide thorough details of site of procedure and any local area changes over that so that better guidelines can be figured out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
