Relevant Catheterization Findings
Interventional Management
Procedural Step
First 6F JR Catheter was used. Wiring Done. Here we use Floppy wire. Predilatation (2X15mm @12 atm) & Stenting(3X38mm) of apparently type A RCA lesion (90-95%). Post dilatation 3.5X10mm @16atm. But we are not satisfied with this result.So Again Post Dilation was done. Here we use higher size balloon about 4.0 mm.

Case Summary
CAP remains a rare complication and high index of suspicion and localization of perforation is needed.Urgent and serial echocardiographic monitoring.Stop the bleeding first with optimization of ACT.Prolonged balloon dilatation always.May need cover stent.Quick pericardiocentesis.Worse outcomes if emergency surgery is warranted.
