Abstract
The rare and self-cured complication of cortical blindness following c oronary arteriography is presented in 2 patients who underwent cardiac catheterization. Both patients were submitted to an aortocoronary byp ass grafting procedure a few years before and were under clinical inve stigation for a new onset of unstable angina pectoris.
