Single Center 7 Year Experience of Coronary Artery Perforation: Angiographic and Procedural Characteristics, Management and Outcome.

Context: Coronary artery perforation is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is infrequent complication of PCI.

Aims: The objective of the study is to report the 7-year experience of coronary artery perforation with respect to incidence, clinical and angiographic characteristics, management and outcomes.

Percutaneous coronary intervention in a rare case of Type V dual LAD.

Congenital coronary anomalies are rare and reported to occur in 0.64-1.3% of patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Successful percutaneous retrieval of unusually knotted temporary pacemaker lead.

Implantation of temporary pacemaker lead is commonly performed procedure and is usually safe, but can sometimes develop rare and serious complication like intracardiac lead knotting which may require challenging retrieval techniques. We report a case of successful percutaneous retrieval of unusually knotted right internal jugular venous temporary pacing lead via left femoral transvenous approach using snare over a long sheath after cutting the electrode proximally and thus avoiding any surgical intervention.
