Complication corner #2

Case information

68 year old female patient
 
  • Medical background:
    • Risk factors: Hypertension, Dyslipidemia, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, family history of early onset coronary artery disease
    • Presented with recent Acute Coronary Syndrome
    • Medications: ASA 100 mg, Clopidogrel 75 mg, Bisoprolol 5 mg, Atorvastatin 40 mg, Ranexa 375mg x2, Metformin 850 mg, Glimepiride 4 mg
  • In hospital investigations
    • ECG: SR, slow R-wave progression V2-V6
    • ECHO: LVEF 45%
  • Coronary angiography
    • LAD 90% focal stenosis , bridge mid LAD
    • RCA CTO, CC2 septal collaterals
  • Refused CABG, referred for PCI
 
 
 

What would your next step be?

Treat only LAD
Treat LAD first and then attempt RCA CTO
Treat RCA first and if fail refer for surgery
Treat RCA first and if fail then treat LAD
A decision to treat CTO RCA first and if fail refer for surgery was taken:
  • No contralateral injection was performed.
  • Antegrade wire escalation technique using GAIA second
  • Balloon dilatation using 2.5X30 mm semi-compliant balloon
  • Injection following balloon dilatation revealed coronary perforation type ELLIS III
  • Patient immediately developed cardiac tamponade
 
 


What would your next step be?

Heparin reversal and refer for immediate surgery
Proximal balloon inflation and pericardiocentesis
Covered stent implantation
Continue antegrade CTO crossing
