Popis: Advancements in coronary stent technology encourage interventional Cardiologists in performing more complex, percutaneous interventions. Coronary perforation is a lethal complication of percutaneous coronary artery interventions and should be managed within seconds to minutes. Despite technological advancements, coronary perforation incidence has not declined over the years. This consistent incidence of coronary perforation may be related to increased number of complex, percutaneous coronary artery interventions. Covered stent implantation is a life-saving solution during the course of this emergent complication but also carries its own short and long term risks in the follow-up of these patients. Herein this report, we aimed to present a successful management of a case of coronary perforation by covered stent implantation but complicated during in-hospital period in the following days.
