Rare occurrence of simultaneous coronary artery perforation and intracoro-nary thrombus formation following angioplasty

  • Both coronary artery perforation and intracoronary thrombus formation are life-threatening complications of percutaneous coronary interventions, which rarely occur simultaneously during angioplasty. We herein report a case of stent-related, left circumflex artery perforation, and subsequently acute left main artery thrombosis after the leakage was embolized with 7 microcoils. Intracoronary thromboectomy and systemic anticoagulant therapy were carefully used with good results. This case also represents some of our uncertainties regarding the best management of the patient.
