Key result
Percutaneous platinum coil embolization successfully seals a large proximal RCA perforation during CTO intervention.
Why the study?
The use of thrombogenic platinum alloy coils for large proximal vessel perforation in chronic coronary artery occlusion had not been previously described.
Can percutaneous coil embolization successfully manage a large proximal vessel perforation in the setting of a chronic coronary artery occlusion?

Demonstrates the successful use of thrombogenic platinum alloy coils for a large proximal vessel perforation in the setting of a chronic coronary artery occlusion.
We describe a case of a coronary artery perforation involving the proximal right coronary artery that was successfully managed by percutaneous coil embolization. In the setting of a chronic coronary artery occlusion, this demonstrates the successful use of thrombogenic platinum alloy coils for a large proximal vessel perforation which has not been described previously.

Mahmud et al. (2001) conducted a case report in Coronary artery perforation involving the proximal right coronary artery in the setting of a chronic coronary artery occlusion (n=1). Percutaneous coil embolization using thrombogenic platinum alloy coils was evaluated on Successful management of perforation. Percutaneous coil embolization using thrombogenic platinum alloy coils successfully managed a large proximal right coronary artery perforation in the setting of a chronic occlusion.
