Abstract:
Coronary perforations are usually apparent immediately after the occurrence. We report a case of a 67-year-old woman where coronary perforation presented 16 hours after the procedure. This case illustrates the need for extra vigilance and careful evaluation of distal vasculature while using stiff coronary guidewires.
