Abstract
We report the case of a 49-year-old female patient who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention of the right coronary and posterior descending arteries complicated with guidewire-induced coronary artery perforation. We successfully managed and sealed this perforation through the embolization of balloon pieces into the target vessel. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
