Acute Stroke After Coronary Angiography Associated with Protruding Mobile Thoracic Aortic Atheromas
Neurol 49:1689-1691, Shmuely,H.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We describe two patients who developed acute embolic stroke immediately after coronary catheterization for unstable angina.Transesophageal echocardiograph(TEE)and spiral CT for the chest revealed protruding floating atheromas within the aortic arch.These cases of stroke immediately after coronary catheterization suggest that protruding floating atheromas of the thoracic aorta place patients at risk for stroke.TEE or CT might predict a risk of stroke in such patients.
