"Micro" and "macro" peripheral embolisms during coronary angiography have been described. In all these cases, the aorta or the left heart chambers have been the source of embolus. A patient who during coronary angiography for acute inferior myocardial infarction experienced acute embolism of the left common femoral artery. The source of the embolus was a thrombus-filled right coronary artery, and the precipitating cause was its selective engagement with a diagnostic Judkins right catheter. A brief review of literature is also presented.
