      Coronary Angiography.

AB  - A 58-year male was referred to our centre with an acute inferior ST elevation 
      myocardial infarction (STEMI). During the primary percutaneous coronary 
      intervention, he suddenly collapsed with severe hypotension and severe 
      bradycardia. The symptoms were attributed to an accidental embolisation of his 
      left coronary system with the thick contrast material. When the remaining 
      contrast in the bottle was investigated, it contained abnormally thick contrast 
      material. This is a rare case of contrast embolisation, which is completely 
      preventable but fatal, if undetected. Key Words: Coronary angiography, Contrast 
      material, Contrast embolisation.
