  ABSTRACT: This case report presents a 58-year-old male patient who developed an ischemic stroke following an elective coronary angiography at the Beirut Cardiac Center. Although coronary angiography is generally considered a safe procedure, this case highlights the potential for neurovascular complications. The patients had a medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and type 2 diabetes and developed neurological deficits one-hour post-procedure. Diagnostic imaging confirmed ischemic changes, and treatment focused on conservative management with antiplatelet therapy. This case underscores the importance of vigilant post-procedural monitoring and proactive high risk factor management in patients undergoing coronary interventions, aiming to enhance awareness of stroke risks associated with these procedures.
