Abstract
While coronary artery perforation remains an uncommon complication of percutaneous coronary intervention, appropriate recognition, early stabilisation and definitive treatment are essential. The immediate goals are to prevent progressive haemodynamic deterioration complicating cardiac tamponade, avoid the need for surgical intervention and limit accompanying mortality. Understanding the role and utility of newer devices that may influence procedural planning and improve procedural results when these complications occur is essential to minimise morbidity and mortality.
