    Summary

    Severe coronary perforation during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was successfully treated using a dual catheter technique. This innovative approach improved patient outcomes, avoiding major complications and leading to a good long-term prognosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Interventional Cardiology
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Coronary perforation is a serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), occurring in 0.1%-0.5% of procedures.
    • Associated with high mortality, morbidity, myocardial infarction, and need for emergency coronary bypass surgery.

    Observation:

    • A case of severe coronary perforation was managed using a novel dual catheter technique via radial and femoral access.
    • This technique allowed for rapid deployment of a covered stent, maintaining control of the perforation site.

    Findings:

    • The patient avoided pericardial effusion, hemodynamic instability, and emergency bypass surgery.
    • Post-procedure, acute stent thrombosis occurred but was successfully treated with thromboaspiration and a new stent.
    • At 2-year follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with no signs of ischemia.

    Implications:

    • The dual catheter technique presents a safe and effective strategy for managing severe PCI-induced coronary perforations.
    • This method may significantly enhance patient outcomes compared to traditional approaches.
