Abstract

We report a case of asymptomatic iatrogenic air bubbles in the left ventricle observed by coronary computed tomographic angiography. Air bubbles are rarely found in the left ventricle and could prove fatal should they migrate to the brain or coronary arteries. We believe that the cause is micro air bubbles in the tubing system between the intravenous catheter and power injector.
