Iatrogenic coronary perforation is rare, but life threatening complication of intracoronary procedures. Beside pharmacological and surgical interventions there are endovascular procedures including stengraft and coil implantation. Some data suggest that stent-graft implantation is in type III perforation superior to prolonged balloon inflations as a first line therapy reduces need for surgery and possibly death rate.
