Background

Coronary perforation occurs when a dissection or an intimal tear is so severe that it extends outward sufficiently to completely penetrate the arterial wall. It is an uncommon complication of coronary intervention, with an incidence of 0.19%-0.58%[1][2][3], as noted among various studies. However, it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. One study found a 12.6% incidence of acute myocardial infarction, 11.6% incidence of cardiac tamponade and a mortality rate of 7.4%[2].

Associations with coronary perforation include:

Classification

The Ellis Classification[4] categorizes coronary artery perforations based on their angiographic appearance in the following manner:

  • Type I - Extraluminal crater without extravasation
  • Type II - Epicardial fat or myocardial blush without contrast jet extravasation
  • Type III - Extravasation through frank (> 1 mm) perforation
  • Type III "cavity spilling" (CS) - Refers to Type III perforations with contrast spilling directly into either the left ventricle, coronary sinus or other anatomic circulatory chamber

The Ellis Classification was evaluated as a predictor of certain outcomes and as a basis for management. Stratifying the outcomes by perforation type are summarized as follows[4]:

Goals of Treatment

There are several goals involved in treating perforations. Prevention of complications such as tamponade, myocardial infarction (MI) and death is critical. It is important to maintain hemodynamic stability. Should tamponade occur, it is important to detect and treat it immediately. Additionally, a goal of treatment is to decrease the need for emergent bypass surgery.

Treatment

Many different treatment options exist. First, the reversal of anticoatulation can be accomplished with Protamine if the patient is on heparin (guided by activated clotting time), or through platelet transfusions (4-10 units) if the patient was given abciximab or thienopyridine.

Prolonged balloon inflation may be another treatment option. Immediate occlusion of the perforated vessel at the perforation site for 10 minutes at 2-4 atms. If there is continued evidence of perforation, use perfusion balloons if available to allow for prolonged inflation without inducing myocardial ischemia.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) covered stents (Jomed stent)[5] can seal the perforation site. However, the stent is bulky and can be difficult to deploy. To decrease timing between deflation of balloon and deployment of the stent, bilateral groin access with two guide catheters approach should be considered.
