Piraino et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Intra-stent coronary perforation and cardiac tamponade during PCI for NSTEMI (n=1). Covered stent implantation (Graftmaster) and pericardiocentesis was evaluated on Resolution of coronary perforation and hemodynamic stability. Implantation of covered stents combined with pericardiocentesis successfully treated a life-threatening type III intra-stent coronary perforation and cardiac tamponade, avoiding emergency CABG.
