High Success Rate in Sealing Distal Coronary Artery Perforations Using Absorbable Gelatin Sponge

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is a major complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The management of CAP can be challenging, requiring tailored approaches based on specific clinical scenarios. We are reporting outcome data on six patients who experienced distal CAP during PCI and were 100% successfully treated using absorbable gelatin sponge embolization without procedural or immediate postprocedural complications.
