Abstract
Multiple fatal embolism following left heart catheterization is described in two patients. Postmortem examination showed friable atheromatous aortic plaques as the likely source of emboli that clinically involved the heart, peripheral blood vessels, brain, gastrointestinal system and solid organs. Histologic examination showed widespread arterial embolism by atheromatous material.Entities:
