Coronary artery perforation is an infrequent yet serious complication of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Management includes conservative methods like prolonged balloon tamponade, emergency pericardiocentesis, in addition to implantation of covered stents, coil embolization of small vessels, as well as, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery. Here we describe a unique case of coronary perforation management by using a man-made covered stent and an un-inflated semi-compliant balloon over a standard Drug Eluting Stent (DES).
