Cholesterol embolic disease can cause serious neurological and renal complications after heart procedures. Early diagnosis and suspicion are crucial for managing this often fatal condition.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Neurology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Coronary angiography and coronary artery bypass grafting are common cardiovascular procedures.
  • Potential complications include neurological and renal dysfunction.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with fluctuating sensorium and subcortical dementia post-procedure.
  • Elevated urea and creatinine levels indicated renal failure.

Findings:

  • Renal biopsy confirmed cholesterol embolic disease as the cause of renal failure.
  • Neurological symptoms showed partial improvement with dialysis, but dementia was unresponsive.

Implications:

  • Cholesterol embolic disease presents with diverse manifestations requiring high clinical suspicion.
