Why the study?
Coronary artery perforation is a major complication of PCI whose management can be challenging and requires tailored approaches based on clinical scenarios.
Does absorbable gelatin sponge embolization safely and successfully treat distal coronary artery perforation during PCI?

Absorbable gelatin sponge embolization may be feasible for distal CAP; this small case series leaves open the need for prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is a major complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The management of CAP can be challenging, requiring tailored approaches based on specific clinical scenarios. We are reporting outcome data on six patients who experienced distal CAP during PCI and were 100% successfully treated using absorbable gelatin sponge embolization without procedural or immediate postprocedural complications.
