Use of stent grafts and coils in vessel rupture and perforation

Area of Science:

• Interventional Cardiology
• Vascular Surgery
• Medical Device Technology

Background:

• Vessel rupture and perforation are significant complications during percutaneous coronary and peripheral arterial interventions.
• These events can lead to abrupt vessel closure, organ damage, hemorrhage, and mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review the management strategies for vessel rupture and perforation.
• To discuss the application of covered stents and embolization coils in interventional procedures.

Main Methods:

• Review of literature on percutaneous interventions and vessel injury management.
• Analysis of different types of covered stents (balloon-expandable, self-expanding) and embolization coils.
• Focus on coronary artery and peripheral arterial interventions.

Main Results:

• Covered stents and embolization coils are key tools for managing vessel perforations.
• The choice of device depends on the specific characteristics of the vessel and the perforation.
• Timely intervention is crucial to mitigate adverse outcomes.

Conclusions:

• Effective management of vessel rupture and perforation is essential for patient safety in interventional cardiology and peripheral vascular procedures.
• Covered stents and embolization coils offer viable percutaneous solutions.
• Further research may refine optimal device selection and technique.
