Compression of right ventricular out-flow due to localized hematoma after coronary perforation during PCI.
Although coronary perforation can cause tamponade during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), this is unusual for patients previously undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) due to pericardial adhesions. We report here on a rare case of right ventricular out-flow obstruction complicating PCI in a patient with a previous CABG.
