Abstract
Coronary artery perforation complicating percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is rare but can be potentially fatal. We report a case of coronary artery dissection and perforation during PTCA that was successfully treated by implanting a bare stent with disappearance of angiographic contrast extravasation and performing one‐time pericardiocentesis for unexpected, delayed cardiac tamponade thereby avoiding the need for surgery. The possibility of coronary angiography not detecting a small residual leak from the perforation is also discussed.
