Upon completion of a carotid angiogram, a clot of platelets, leukocytes, erythrocytes and fibrin was found attached to a No. 18 gauge Cournand needle. The chance retrieval of this thrombus establishes the occurrence of thrombus formation on angiographic needles. Such thrombi could be the source of some post-angiographic infarctions and are consistent with current concepts of clotting.
