Key Points

  • To optimize management strategies for coronary artery perforations based on severity and patient condition.
  • Developed a structured management algorithm
  • Emphasized early balloon tamponade techniques
  • Incorporated lesion-specific device selection
  • Advocated for structured escalation based on patient response
  • The algorithm aims to reduce mortality associated with perforations
  • Encourages timely interventions to enhance patient outcomes
  • Prevents the need for surgical bailout in critical situations

Abstract

CAP management should be guided by the severity of perforation, the anatomical site, and the patient's hemodynamics. A structured algorithm involving early balloon tamponade, lesion-specific device selection, and structured escalation can prevent mortality and surgical bailout.
