Abstract

Coronary perforation is a rare but potentially lethal complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. Coil embolisation may be required for severe or persisting perforations; coils are made of steel, platinum or equivalent alloys and are available in different shapes. These are usually delivered through a dedicated microcatheter and, due to their high thrombogenicity, are frequently used to treat severe coronary perforations.
