A case of stroke during cardiac catheterisation: It's not common, but it is a double whammy!

We report a case of a 57-year-old lady with acute myocardial infarction who developed stroke on the cardiac catheterisation table. The case illustrates the need for a protocol of care, vigilant cardiologist and staff who can recognise the symptoms and signs as well as good collaborative efforts between the cardiology, neurology and, at times, the interventional radiology teams.
