Intra-stent Coronary Perforation: A Race against Time
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Therapeutics and Diagnosis (IJCTD) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Coronaric perforation, while representing fortunately a rare complication (incidence among 0.2–0.6 %), it is burdened by a high mortality rate if not properly and promptly treated. We report the case of an intra-stent coronary perforation at the end of revascularization of a non ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), followed by immediate impairment of hemodynamic compensation due to significant pericardial effusion and subsequent cardiac tamponade.
