Case report- Dual guiding catheter technique to treat type III coronary artery perforations

Abstract

Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is a potentially lethal complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. The risk of coronary perforation is associated with the complexity of the lesion. Severe coronary artery perforations is a rare but potentially life threatening complication which requires immediate intervention. We report a case of severe coronary artery perforation and its management using dual guide technique or ping pong technique.
