With the substantial advances in technology and further refinements in the technique of coronary angioplasty, the potential for and manifestations of complications may have changed from those observed in populations studied previously. We describe a rare complication of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), a large air embolus obstructing coronary flow, which is related to the newer technology. The air embolus was successfully extracted by aspiration through the balloon angioplasty catheter.
随着技术的重大进步以及冠状动脉血管成形术技术的进一步完善，并发症的可能性及表现可能已与先前研究人群中观察到的情况有所不同。我们描述了经皮腔内冠状动脉血管成形术（PTCA）一种罕见的并发症，即一个大的空气栓子阻塞冠状动脉血流，这与更新的技术有关。通过球囊血管成形术导管抽吸成功取出了空气栓子。
