  • Title: Left anterior descending coronary artery to right ventricular fistula complicating coronary stenting.
    Author: Korpas D, Acevedo C, Lindsey RL, Gradman AH.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2002 Jan; 14(1):41-3. PubMed ID: 11773695.
    Abstract:
    Coronary artery perforation is a rare complication of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and coronary stenting, most commonly creating a communication between the coronary artery lumen and the pericardial space. We report a case where vessel rupture following stent deployment led to the development of a fistula between the left anterior descending coronary artery and the right ventricle.
