A Novel Closed-Loop Balloon-Stent Embolization for the Treatment of Coronary Artery Perforation

Ahmet Emir Ulutaş et al. Turk Kardiyol Dern Ars. 2023 Dec.

Abstract

Coronary artery perforation is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. Although there are a few treatment options available, such as coil or fat tissue embolization and stent-graft implantation, the closed-loop balloon-stent technique can be especially effective for thin vessel ruptures. In this case report, we demonstrate the successful application of the closed-loop balloon-stent embolization for a perforation of the distal left anterior descending artery, a procedure which, to our knowledge, has not been previously documented in the literature.
