Abstract

Reported is a technique that was used to treat a distal left anterior descending (LAD) perforation in a patient undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for distal LAD total occlusion. The perforation was successfully treated by re-occluding the LAD with implantation of a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stent in a diagonal branch extending to the LAD (side branch graft stenting technique) delivered using the dual catheter technique. This approach is proposed as an alternative bail-out technique that can be used in cases where other treatment options for coronary perforation are either unavailable or potentially not successful, especially during PCI for total occlusions, where the disadvantage of main vessel occlusion is already present.
