Abstract

We encountered a patient with coronary perforation showing cardiac tamponade and shock that occurred during debulking by directional coronary atherectomy. We successfully performed emergent pericardial drainage and aorto-coronary bypass procedures. Bypass surgery is recommended to avoid perioperative myocardial infarction in cases such as ours since the native coronary artery may be at risk of being occluded or narrowed due to oppression by the hematoma and destroyed intima.
