It is a potentially life threatening complication depending on the severity and immediate management options available.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Ellis classification of coronary artery perforations<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ellis classification is based on angiographic appearance of the perforation.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Grade I: Extraluminal crater without extravasation<br \/>\nGrade II: Pericardial or myocardial blushing<br \/>\nGrade III: Perforations of one or more millimeter diameter with contrast streaming or spilling<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Predictors of coronary perforation during PCI<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Perforations are more likely to occur with rotablator than conventional PCI. It is more likely in advanced age and females. Grade III perforations with the worst prognosis are more likely to occur with complex lesions and chronic total occlusions.<sup>2<\/sup> But even smaller perforations can have unexpected problems and hence close monitoring for at least 24 hours is mandatory.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Management of coronary artery perforations<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Immediate treatment options include prolonged balloon inflations and implantation of covered stents apart from reversal of heparin. Cardiac tamponade should be aspirated and auto transfused if needed. Surgical repair and coil embolisation are other options. Small perforations in insignificant vessels can also be managed by applying negative suction in a wedged microcatheter so as to produce vessel collapse and obliteration.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Ellis SG et al.
