Iatrogenic Complete Anterolateral Papillary Muscle Rupture Following Transcatheter Gelatin Sponge Embolization for Coronary Artery Perforation

Key Points

• The aim is to examine the risk of complete anterolateral papillary muscle rupture following gelatin sponge embolization in coronary procedures.
• Analysis of a case involving a coronary artery perforation treated with gelatin sponge embolization.
• Assessment of the patient’s outcomes post-embolization.
• Review of literature regarding similar cases and complications.
• A complete anterolateral papillary muscle rupture occurred in the patient post-embolization.
• Timely intervention led to the stabilization of the patient's condition.
• Highlights the significant risks associated with gelatin sponge use for hemostasis.
