✦ Synopsis

Twenty-five years ago, fatalities due to acute thrombotic coronary occlusion occurring during coronary angiography were reported not infrequently, but are thought to have been eliminated by changes in technique and equipment.

The likely source of the thrombus was the arterial sheath. Measures for prevention of this complication are discussed.
