Successful treatment of coronary artery perforation during angioplasty using autologous vein graft-coated stent

Abstract: We report a case of successful treatment of coronary artery perforation and cardiac tamponade with an autologous vein graft-coated stent, which were developed during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. The method reported here may be an effective alternative to emergency surgery and should be considered when coronary artery perforation does not respond to conventional prolonged inflation with perfusion catheter.

“…Recently, catastrophic perforations in native vessels and saphenous vein grafts have also been managed successfully with autologous vein cover stents [25][26][27][28][29][30] or using stents with a PFTE coating, 31,32 and this approach was used successfully in 1 patient in the pesent series. While covered stents are useful in sealing a ruptured coronary vessel, they must be used with caution in regions of significant side branching and they do not appear to reduce restenosis.…”

“…However, in most cases, it does not result in tamponade, unlike our case, and can be managed conservatively [7]. In patients where extravasation is located in the wall of epicardial artery, stent-graft can be used effectively to cover the perforation [8]. Additionally, lifesaving measures intended at occlusion of the distal vessel by coils, gelfoam, precoagulated autologous blood and intracoronary thrombin have been used [9].…”

“…Literature reports on the implantation of stent grafts in coronary vessels include de novo stenoses [10,11], bailout situation [10], coronary rupture and perforation [12,13], as well as thrombotic coronary lesions in acute myocardial infarction [14]. Here, autologous veins [12][13][14] and in one case a piece of the radial artery [11] were used as graft material. The surgical removal of the vessel material, however, means an additional encumbrance for the patient and leads to a further lengthening of the whole procedure, with an increased risk of myocardial ischemia.…”
