Coronary Artery Perforation Following Implantation of a Drug-Eluting Stent Rescued by Deployment of a Covered Stent in Symptomatic Myocardial Bridging

Abstract

We successfully rescued a patient whose coronary artery perforated following implantation of a drug-eluting stent (DES), by deploying a stent-graft in symptomatic myocardial bridging. Our case demonstrated that coronary perforation could be handled without difficulty when perforated myocardial bridging is confined to the interventricular groove.
