Out of 11,000 cardiac catheterizations in adult patients, perforation of the heart occurred in four cases (0.036%). Left atrial wall perforation by an NIH catheter occurred in one patient without sequelae. In three patients, right ventricular perforation by a Zucker-type catheter was observed, causing pericardial tamponade. This observation may discourage angiographers from the routine use of this type of catheter.
在11000例成年患者的心脏导管插入术中，发生心脏穿孔4例（0.036%）。1例患者出现NIH导管致左心房壁穿孔，无后遗症。观察到3例患者出现Zucker型导管致右心室穿孔，引起心包填塞。这一观察结果可能会使血管造影师不再常规使用此类导管。
