Abstract
Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is an infrequent yet a very dangerous complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. We describe the successful treatment of a guidewire-induced distal coronary branch vessel perforation using localized distal injection of intracoronary thrombin with a microcatheter. This technique appears to be safe and effective for the treatment of life-threatening distal guidewire perforations, even in the smallest tertiary coronary branches.Entities:
