Abstract:
A case of right branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) due to cholesterol-containing embolus following transfemoral cardiac catheterization is reported. It is extremely rare, however, cardiologists should be alert to any thromboembolic complications during and following cardiac catheterization and choose the suitable approach (either upper extremity or transfemoral).
