Necrotising fasciitis (NF) is a rare surgical emergency characterised by soft tissue necrosis and systemic compromise. Typically it originates following adjacent skin and soft tissue insult; however, our unusual case required a high index of clinical suspicion to avert potential mortality. A man in his 60s with diabetes mellitus presented with 2 weeks of knee pain, swelling and necrotic skin on the posterior calf.

Article Synopsis
- Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is a rare and severe complication that can occur during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), traditionally managed with covered stents.
- A case involving a 73-year-old male who experienced CAP during PCI was successfully treated using drug-coated balloons instead, which effectively sealed the perforation and restored blood flow.
- This instance suggests that drug-coated balloons might be a viable alternative to covered stents in certain situations involving CAP, prompting the need for further studies on their long-term safety and effectiveness.
