The case of a coronary artery perforation in which overinflation of a balloon at an angulated segment of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery after stent deployment resulted in an Ellis type III coronary artery perforation is presented. A bare metal stent (BMS) was used successfully to seal this high-grade perforation. Here, it is demonstrated that it may not be illogical to consider BMS as the first choice before embarking on use of a covered stent if the clinical/haemodynamic condition of the patient allows it and if a covered stent is not available.
本文介绍了一例冠状动脉穿孔病例,在左前降支(LAD)动脉支架置入后,在成角节段过度充盈球囊导致了埃利斯III型冠状动脉穿孔。一枚裸金属支架(BMS)成功用于封堵这一高级别穿孔。在此表明,如果患者的临床/血流动力学状况允许且没有覆膜支架可用,在开始使用覆膜支架之前将BMS视为首选可能并非不合理。
