Repair of left anterior descending coronary artery perforation by Magic Wallstent implantation.
Coronary rupture is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. However, it may be associated with serious hemodynamic consequences often leading to tamponade, myocardial infarction, emergency surgical intervention, or death. We report a successful percutaneous repair of a brisk left anterior descending coronary artery perforation by the implantation of a Magic Wallstent.
