    <Abstract>Carbon dioxide angiography is routinely used for vascular imaging and endovascular procedures. It is very useful in patients with allergy to iodinated contrast agents or with poor renal function. It is relatively safe to use. We describe first case of cerebral gas embolism leading to multiple bilateral ischemic strokes in a patient receiving carbon dioxide angiography for workup of thrombosed arm arteriovenous fistula.</Abstract>
