Relevant Test Results Prior to Catheterization

Non-Invasive StudyECG: AMI(Inf); Echocardiography: Inferior wall hypokinesia, LV EF 45%; Troponin I: Raised, Biochemistry: Normal
Invasive Test ReportLM,LAD,Lcx—NormalRCA----90-95% Stenosis in Mid Part

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.
