The self-made covered stent technique for treating coronary artery perforations

Abstract

Coronary artery perforations (CAP) are rare but known complications during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We present two cases demonstrating the novel “Self-Made Covered Stent” technique for managing CAP. The technique involves creating a controlled dissection flap, which is then tacked down with a stent to seal the CAP.
