Abstract
Coronary artery perforation is a rare complication of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and coronary stenting, most commonly creating a communication between the coronary artery lumen and the pericardial space. We report a case where vessel rupture following stent deployment led to the development of a fistula between the left anterior descending coronary artery and the right ventricle.Entities:
