Implantation of a PCS has improved the immediate clinical outcomes of patients with coronaryperforation.
2
We report a case of acute stent thrombosis following protamine administration for coronaryperforation after drug eluting stent implantation.
3
Reversal of anticoagulant effect of heparin to treat coronaryperforation after bare metal stent implantation is an accepted practice.
4
Of 285 patients who experienced coronaryperforation, 57 patients (20%) were treated with PCS.
5
Meanwhile, coronary pseudoaneurysm subsequent to coronaryperforation is one of the complications at chronic phase infrequently experienced following percutaneous coronary intervention.
6
This study sought to evaluate the short-term and 3-year outcomes of polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stent (PCS) for patients with coronaryperforation.
7
Between 1991 and 2005, we experienced 12 cases (0.35%) of coronaryperforation in a total of 3415 PCI procedures.
8
Importantly, fifty-one percent of the coronaryperforations were guide-wire related.
9
Coronaryperforation during PCI is a rare complication but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
10
There were 31 coronary dissections, 5 entrapped guidewires, and 8 coronaryperforations.
11
Hence, acquisition of the basic techniques for the treatment of coronaryperforations is critical for the interventional cardiologist in order to safely perform PCIs.
