Abstract
Embolism with brain infarction rarely complicates calcific aortic stenosis (CAS). We report a case with severe CAS where the patient experienced multiple embolic strokes immediately following retrograde heart catheterization. Calcific emboli in the cerebral arteries were demonstrated by computed tomography (CT).This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
