<unk>  is a complication of<unk>  angiograpghy, in which there is an iatrogenic introduction of gas bubbles into the blood stream, that can be associated with high morbidity and even mortality. In this case, the signs and symptoms result from the cessation of the blood flow within the arterial segment, caused by even a small amount of bubbles, which lead to tissue ischemia from oxygen starvation and may cause cellular damage and irreversible injury. The most dangerous consequences occur in brain and heart due to their vulnerability to short periods of ischemia.
