Clinical Outcomes of Coronary Artery Perforation Treated With Covered Stents: The Impact of Intravascular Ultrasound Guidance in a Contemporary Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery perforation (CAP) during percutaneous coronary intervention carries significant morbidity and mortality; however, data are limited regarding the specific role of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in evaluating and guiding management after CAP occurs and whether this approach improves clinical outcomes.

Methods

This study consisted of a retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention and experienced CAP treated with covered stents at a single tertiary care hospital between December 2014 and January 2024. The primary outcome was target vessel revascularization (TVR). Secondary outcomes included mortality, myocardial infarction, in-stent restenosis, and emergency cardiac surgery.
