title: Delayed appearance of coronary artery perforation following cutting balloon angioplasty.
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.
