✦ Synopsis
We present a case of acute total aortic occlusion at the time of cardiac catheterization in a 62-yr-old female with an acute myocardial infarction and newly diagnosed polycythemia vera. Despite normalization of serum viscosity and red cell mass by phlebotomy, her predisposition to thrombosis persisted. Caution is advised when considering cardiac catheterization in patients with this disease.
