Circumflex Rescue After Left Main Covered Stenting Using a Stiff Wire, Angled Microcatheter, and Stent Target

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Coronary artery perforation is a serious potential complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with an incidence of approximately 0.5%.1 Covered stents are used as a part of the treatment algorithm; however, when a perforation occurs at a bifurcation, 1 branch may become occluded after covered stent deployment. This case management adds to the armamentarium used to overcome this situation.
