Managing Coronary Perforations : how to handle this nightmare scenario

Would you know what to do if faced with a coronary perforation? Although bailout nightmares are quite rare, most interventionalists will have to deal with this emergency situation at least once in their career. With Patrick Calvert, O. Mueller takes you through the steps, so that you are able to recognise a perforation before being placed in the “lonely” position of handling it alone in your cath lab. He goes through the importance of realising it has occurred in the first place, followed by the different classifications of a perforation, and how to tailor management to each type. When should you watch and wait, and when is it necessary to adopt an aggressive approach? O. Mueller also outlines the policy for handling a distal wire coronary perforation. And importantly, he provides detailed advice on prevention strategies, and how to identify high-risk patients. There are no randomised controlled trials from which to learn, so let the experts give you the ‘tricks’ to manage these coronary perforations.
