  • Title: [Surgical therapy of traumatic cardiologic intervention].
    Author: Tugtekin SM, Alexiou K, Kappert U, Matschke K, Gulielmos V, Knaut M.
    Journal: Z Kardiol; 2003 Oct; 92(10):833-6. PubMed ID: 14579047.
    Abstract:
    Coronary perforation and entrapment of catheter materials are rare, but life-threatening complications, which often require emergency cardiosurgical treatment. Surgical options include tamponade drainage, coronary artery bypass grafting, perforation suturing, and removal of catheter materials. Surgical strategies are not standardized but mainly depend on the surgical anatomy. This is in particular true for the removal of the catheter remnants (stent, guidewire). Keeping this in mind, these patients can be treated with good clinical results.
