A guidewire-induced distal coronary artery perforation presenting with cardiac tamponade was occluded by distal Gelfoam embolization via an infusion catheter. This extends the treatment options for this rare complication of coronary interventional procedures. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 49:214-21

We describe a case of type 2 coronary artery perforation in a 73-year-old man undergoing coronary artery rotablation and stenting with abciximab therapy. The coronary artery perforation was successfully treated by coil embolization with Trufill pushable coils made from platinum alloy and synthetic f
Distal coronary artery perforation with a coronary guidewire is a relatively rare but potentially fatal complication during PTCA. Historically, these types of perforations have been easy to control with reversal of heparin anticoagulation combined with prolonged distal balloon inflation. In the mode
Distal microvascular spasm Is a somewhat uncommon occurrence following PTCA and often does not respond well to nitroglycerin. We report several patients who developed distal microvascular spasm that was refractory to intracoronary nitroglycerin but responded promptly to intracoronary verapamll.
