Abstract:
Coronary artery perforation is a relatively rare complication in coronary angioplasty. We report the case of a 71-year-old male, who was salvaged by emergency surgery, for cardiogenic shock due to subepicardial hematoma associated with balloon angioplasty. Such a case has not yet previously been reported.
