Abstract
Coronary perforation can be managed with prolonged balloon inflations, covered stents, or embolization of the vessel. We report on a case of a balloon-induced perforation of the distal left anterior descending artery, that was sealed by injecting preclotted autologous blood through the balloon catheter lumen at the site of the perforation. The patency of the distal vessel was maintained.Entities:
