Possible treatment approaches for distal coronary artery perforation

Abstract

Coronary artery perforation is a rare (0.1–3.0%) but rather severe complication that occurs during the coronary interventions. Treating the perforation caused by the coronary conductor is extremely complicated, as it could be caused quite unexpectedly and may be accompanied by catastrophic consequences if misdirected. Choosing effective treatment techniques is not easy, as evidenced by hospital and remote clinical outcomes with high mortality rates.
