| Summary: | Advancements in coronary stent technology encourage
interventional Cardiologists in performing more complex, percutaneous
interventions. Coronary perforation is a lethal complication of percutaneous
coronary artery interventions and should be managed within seconds to minutes.
Despite technological advancements, coronary perforation incidence has not
declined over the years. This consistent incidence of coronary perforation may
be related to increased number of complex, percutaneous coronary artery
interventions. Covered stent implantation is a life-saving solution during the
course of this emergent complication but also carries its own short and long
term risks in the follow-up of these patients. Herein this report, we aimed to
present a successful management of a case of coronary perforation by covered
stent implantation but complicated during in-hospital period in the following
days.
