J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2023; 10:496. [PMID: 38132663 PMCID: PMC10743633 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd10120496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Iatrogenic distal coronary artery perforation can be a life-threatening complication. While there are different dedicated devices for the embolization of distal perforations, there are scarce data about the embolization using the fragmented balloon catheter, the so-called cut balloon technique (CBT). METHODS We included consecutive patients with distal coronary perforations treated with CBT in four cardiac centers between 2017 and 2023. Clinical, angiographic and procedural characteristics as well as in-hospital outcomes were recorded. RESULTS Twenty-six patients (68% men, mean age: 71 ± 10.6 years) with 25 distal coronary perforations and one septal collateral perforation were included. Eleven patients (42%) had elective percutaneous coronary intervention, while fifteen patients (58%) were treated for acute coronary syndrome. The site of perforation was most frequently distributed in the left anterior descending artery (40%), followed by the circumflex artery (28%) and right coronary artery (24%). The diameter of balloons for CBT ranged from 1.5 to 4.0 mm, with most balloons (76%) being either 2.0 or 2.5 mm in diameter. Most balloons (88%) were previously used for lesion predilatation. The numbers of cut balloons needed to seal the perforation were 1, 2 and ≥3 in 48%, 20% and 32% of cases, respectively. The in-hospital prognosis was favorable, with cardiac tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis in only four (16%) patients. Neither emergency surgery nor cardiac death occurred. CONCLUSIONS CBT is a safe, efficient and easy-to-implement technique for the embolization of coronary perforations. Most distal coronary perforations can be sealed with one or two fragments of cut balloons, obviating the need for additional devices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the efficacy and safety of self-made covered coronary stent in the treatment of coronary artery perforation. METHODS Covered coronary stent was prepared by wrapping 3 M film on the surface of coronary stents. The beagle dogs were divided into control group and experimental group. A drug-eluting stent (DES) was implanted in the control group. The covered stent was applied to block the coronary branches of beagle dogs. The CaIMR value after stent placement was calculated by FlashAngio software. The effect of blocking the coronary branches on blood flow was observed by coronary angiography (CAG). The condition of the implanted stent was observed by optical coherence tomography (OCT), and the histopathologic examination of the coronary vessel implanted stent was performed by HE staining. RESULTS The best number of layers was 2. Compared with the control group, the CaIMR of the experimental group increased (p < 0.05). A lot of in-stent thrombosis were found in the experimental group and obvious blood flow obstruction during follow-up. HE staining showed that stents implanted in the two groups adhered well to the wall of the blood vessel, but in-stent thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia were founded in the experimental group, while the in-stent restenosis was not founded. CONCLUSION The self-made coronary covered stent can effectively block the leakage caused by coronary perforation, but the stent endothelialization is poor, which easily causes stent thrombosis and restenosis, so it is not recommended as a routine remedy.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2023; 102:1061-1065.

Abstract
Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is a rare but lethal complication of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), and its incidence has been increasing with advances in PCI techniques. Delayed CAP presents a highly challenging complication, as it occurs 30 min-9 days after intervention, making subsequent diagnosis and treatment difficult. We present the case of a 63-year-old male patient who underwent PCI for an obtuse marginalis II because of posterior wall myocardial infarction. Following 4 days of uneventful postoperative stay, the patient developed angina pectoris and hypotension 4 h after reinitiation of anticoagulant therapy with edoxaban. Angiography revealed distal vessel perforation from a side branch of the obtuse marginalis II. The vessel was occluded using autologous fat embolization via a microcatheter, resulting in complete sealing of the perforation. After discharge, 4 weeks after the infarction, the patient started rehabilitation therapy. Distal vessel perforations are typically caused by wire damage. In our case, we also suspected distal wire perforation, which was initially not recognized possibly due to distal occlusion through the thrombotic material. The temporal correlation between the re-initiation of anticoagulant therapy and the occurrence of cardiac tamponade suggests that the thrombotic material was resolved due to the former. The management of delayed CAP does not differ from that of CAP; thus, this rare complication should be considered even days after PCI as it could prove lethal if not recognized early.

Abstract
Coronary-cameral fistulas, though mostly regarded as congenital entities, have also been encountered as complications of major traumas and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs).1 On the other hand, interventricular septal (IVS) hematoma might potentially arise mostly during retrograde chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions and has a benign course in this context.2 Herein, we describe a challenging PCI complication (and its management strategy) presenting with IVS hematoma, right ventricular fistula, and right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction due to a misimplanted coronary stent in the septal perforating artery (SPA).

Abstract
Coronary perforation (CP) is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and can lead to pericardial tamponade. Prolonged balloon inflation is a reasonable treatment for CP, but there is no standard recommendation on the preferable choice between the balloon site for prolonged balloon inflation (ie, proximal and in situ of the perforation). We present a rare case of successful prolonged balloon inflation at the proximal site of the CP after the failure of balloon inflation at the site of perforation. The patient developed CP during balloon inflation post-stent, rapidly progressing to cardiac tamponade. In situ prolonged balloon inflation (3 times) failed to close the CP, but proximal inflation could manage the CP. The take-home message from this case is that balloon expansion at the proximal site could be better than in situ of perforation in patients with CP after PCI.

Abstract
Percutaneous treatment of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) has advanced greatly since its advent in the late 1970s through the development of dedicated wires and microcatheters, the improved skills of highly experienced operators and the adoption of new sophisticated strategies to guide procedural planning. The contemporary procedural success rate is 80-90% with a reduction in complications. Although there has been no improvement in prognosis in randomised trials to date, they, and other controlled registries of thousands of patients, confirm the pivotal role of CTO recanalisation in the treatment of angina and dyspnoea and an improvement in quality of life. Despite this evidence, CTO recanalisation is grossly underutilised. This review reports a detailed overview of the history, indications and treatment strategies for CTO recanalisation and hopes to increase interest among new, and especially young, operators in this demanding, rapidly evolving field of interventional cardiology.

Abstract
The success of attempts at opening chronic total occlusions (CTO) has dramatically increased in recent times due to the development of new techniques such as the use of the retrograde approach through epicardial collaterals. However, this approach admittedly brings with it an increased risk, and this must be balanced against the potential benefits. We present the case of a 61-year-old gentleman with Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Class III angina with a background history of hypertension and dyslipidaemia, who was an ex-smoker, and whose diagnostic coronary angiogram revealed CTOs of both the right and left circumflex coronary arteries. Following a heart team discussion, a percutaneous approach to treatment by staged approach was favoured, with the first stage being opening of the CTO of the right coronary artery. A retrograde approach with the use of a Corsair microcatheter facilitated reverse CART (controlled antegrade and retrograde tracking). Unfortunately, upon removal of the Corsair, a rupture of the epicardial collateral was noted with profuse bleeding into the pericardial space. This was treated successfully with a BeGraft-covered stent to obtain proximal control, and a Cooke Tornado neuro-interventional coil to obtain distal control, delivered antegrade through the now recanalized RCA. This case-based review then highlights several unique learning points, in particular to understand, in general terms, the approach to CTO; to understand the potential complications associated with a retrograde epicardial collateral approach; to understand the stepwise approach to dealing with perforation; and, finally, to understand how an occlusion coil works.

Abstract
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) of Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO) represents the most challenging procedure in modern endovascular treatments. In recent years, the success rate of CTO PCI has substantially improved, owing to increasing operator expertise and advancements in CTO equipment and algorithms as well as the development of expert consensus documents. In this review, we summarize existing evidence for CTO PCI, its success/ risk prediction scoring tools, procedural principles and complications and provide an insight into the future role of CTO PCI.

Abstract
Distal coronary perforation is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. While temporary balloon occlusion of the proximal coronary artery is the first step in perforation management, more definitive treatment options include covered stent implantation for large vessel perforations or fat/coil embolization for distal vessel perforations. We report a case of an 81-year old man who presented with inferior/posterior ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography showed a 90% distal left circumflex artery (LCx) stenosis. Percutaneous coronary intervention of the culprit vessel was challenging due to balloon uncrossable lesions in LCx and was complicated by distal coronary perforation due to excessive wire movement. Two Axium coils were delivered using a Finecross microcatheter but failed to seal the perforation. We performed fat embolization (proximal to the coils) that successfully sealed the perforation. In selected cases where coil embolization alone fails to seal a distal coronary perforation, combined coil and fat embolization might help achieve hemostasis.

Abstract
Advancing stent technology has enabled interventional cardiologists to perform percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to open chronic total occlusions (CTOs). Because PCI for CTOs improve patient anginal symptoms and quality of life, these procedures have been increasing over the past decade. Compared to standard PCI, these procedures are technically more difficult, with prolonged procedure time and increased risk of complications. Accordingly, anesthesiologists are increasingly being asked to provide sedation for these patients in the cardiac catheterization suite. In CTO PCI, anesthesiologists are more likely to encounter complications such as coronary artery perforation, malignant arrhythmias, non-target vessel ischemia, bleeding and shock. Additionally, CTO PCI may be supported by mechanical circulatory support devices. Understanding the procedural techniques of these complex PCI procedures is important to enable optimal anesthetic care in these patients. This narrative review discusses the pathophysiology, risks, benefits, procedural steps, and main anesthetic considerations for patients undergoing CTO PCI. Despite a growing body of literature, future research is still required to elucidate optimal anesthetic and mechanical support strategies in patients undergoing CTO PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery perforation is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), however if recognized and managed promptly, its adverse consequences can be minimized. Risk factors include the use of advanced PCI technique (such as atherectomy and chronic total occlusion interventions) and treatment of severely calcified lesions. Large vessel perforation is usually treated with implantation of a covered stent, whereas distal and collateral vessel perforations are usually treated with embolization of coils, fat, thrombin, or collagen. We describe a novel and cost-effective method of embolisation using a cut remnant of a used angioplasty balloon that was successful in sealing a distal wire perforation. we advocate this method as a simple method of managing distal vessel perforation.
CASE SUMMARY A 73-year-old male with previous coronary Bypass graft operation and recurrent angina on minimal exertion had undergone rotablation and PCI to his dominant left circumflex. At the end of the procedure there was evidence of wire perforation at the distal branch and despite prolonged balloon tamponade there continued to be extravasation and the decision was made to seal this perforation. A cut piece of an angioplasty balloon was used and delivered on the original angioplasty wire to before the perforation area and released which resulted in sealing of the perforation with no unwanted clinical consequences.
CONCLUSION The use of a balloon remnant for embolization in coronary perforation presents a simple, efficient and cost-effective method for managing coronary perforations and may be an alternative for achieving hemostasis and preventing poor outcome. Prevention remains the most important part with meticulous attention to the distal wire position, particularly with hydrophilic wires.
