Delayed appearance of coronary artery perforation following cutting balloon angioplasty

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2002 Dec;57(4):529-31. doi: 10.1002/ccd.10335.

Abstract

Coronary artery perforation is a potential complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It usually develops immediately following PCI, particularly when an atheroablate device is used. We report a case in which coronary artery perforation developed 4 days after PCI with a nondebulking device, a cutting balloon catheter.
