| The Ellis Classification<ref name="pmid7994814">{{cite journal |author=Ellis SG, Ajluni S, Arnold AZ, ''et al.'' |title=Increased coronary perforation in the new device era. Incidence, classification, management, and outcome |journal=Circulation |volume=90 |issue=6 |pages=2725–30 |year=1994 |month=December |pmid=7994814 |doi= |url=}}</ref> categorizes coronary artery perforations based on their [[angiographic]] appearance in the following manner:
| |
| * '''Type I''' - Extraluminal crater without [[extravasation]]
| |
| * '''Type II''' - [[Epicardial]] fat or myocardial blush without contrast jet extravasation
| |
| * '''Type III''' - Extravasation through frank (> 1 mm) perforation
| |
| * '''Type III "cavity spilling" (CS)''' - Refers to Type III perforations with contrast spilling directly into either the [[left ventricle]], [[coronary sinus]], or another anatomic circulatory chamber
| |

| | |
| ==Goals of Treatment==
| |
| There are several goals involved in treating perforations. Prevention of complications such as [[tamponade]], [[MI|myocardial infarction (MI)]] and death is critical. It is important to maintain [[hemodynamic]] stability. Should tamponade occur, it is important to detect and treat it immediately. Additionally, a goal of treatment is to decrease the need for emergent [[bypass surgery]].
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| Prolonged balloon inflation may be another treatment option. Immediate occlusion of the perforated vessel at the perforation site for 10 minutes at 2-4 [[atms]] is recommended. If there is continued evidence of perforation, use perfusion balloons (if available) to allow for prolonged inflation without inducing myocardial [[ischemia]].
| |
| | |
| Other measures can be considered after prolong balloon inflation is initiated. Coil [[embolization]] and [[IABP|intra aortic balloon pump (IABP)]] counterpulsation are two options.
| |
| | |
| Additionally, [[polytetrafluoroethylene|polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)]] covered stents (Jomed stent)<ref name="pmid15084537">{{cite journal |author=Fineschi M, Gori T, Sinicropi G, Bravi A |title=Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) covered stents for the treatment of coronary artery aneurysms |journal=Heart |volume=90 |issue=5 |pages=490 |year=2004 |month=May |pmid=15084537 |pmc=1768192 |doi= |url=}}</ref> can seal the perforation site. However, the stent is bulky and can be difficult to deploy. To decrease the timing between deflation of balloon and deployment of the stent, bilateral [[groin]] access with the two guide catheters approach should be considered.
| |
| | |
| Adjunctive hemodynamic monitoring and support is another option for treatment. Hemodynamic assessment with right heart pressure monitoring should be considered, but it is important to pay particular attention to a sudden rise in right [[atrial]] filling pressures. Also, it is important to monitor heart borders on [[fluoroscopy]] to detect signs of [[tamponade]], as signified by a lack of movement of the heart borders.
| |
| | |
| Urgent [[echocardiography]] is an option to evaluate for [[pericardial effusion]] and [[tamponade]] [[physiology]]. Immediate notification of the [[Cardiac surgery|cardiothoracic surgical]] team is important.
| |
| | |
| ==Advantages of Each Choice==
| |
| | |
| Prolonged balloon inflations can be performed rapidly. However, patients may not tolerate balloon inflations because of the development of [[ischemia]], [[arrhythmias]], or [[hemodynamic]] instability. Therefore, perfusion balloon use may be optimal if it is available.
| |
| | |
| [[PTFE]] coated stent placement can rapidly and effectively close vessel wall defects, obviating open surgical procedures.
| |
| | |
| Surgical repair offers the advantage of visualizing difficult-to-identify perforations. [[Cardiopulmonary bypass]] may be needed to [[hemodynamically]] stabilize patients with perforations.
| |
| | |
| Coil [[embolization]] is suitable for small side branch perforations, but it will lead to tissue infarction and may not be available in all [[Cath lab|catheterization laboratories]].
| |
| | |
| ==Making a Selection==
| |
| Initial management of perforations should always begin with prolonged balloon inflation.
| |
| | |
| Once prolonged balloon inflation is attempted, other options may be explored. [[PTFE]] coated stents have now become more readily available and are deployed more frequently. They can be used for most coronary perforations, but small, excessively angulated or [[tortuous]] vessels may not be amenable to them.
| |
| | |
| Coil [[embolization]] is suited for small vessels, distal locations, arteries that supply limited viable [[myocardium]], or situations where surgery is [[contraindicated]].
| |
| | |
| Surgical closure is necessary for perforations that demonstrate continued bleeding despite minimal invasive therapy, refractory [[ischemia]], or recurrent [[hemorrhage]].
| |
| | |
| [[Pericardiocentesis]] is indicated to prevent overt cardiac [[tamponade]] for all patients who accumulate [[pericardial]] fluid as evidenced by increasing right atrial pressure.
| |
| | |
| ==Is Treatment Working?==
| |
| | |
| There are several signs that indicate whether treatment is failing. Incomplete closure is signified by persistent dye extravasation, while [[pericardial]] fluid collection and impending cardiac [[tamponade]] is signified by increasing right atrial pressure. Peristent fluid accumulation or pericardial drain output (>24 h) should prompt surgical repair.
| |
| | |
| Serial echocardiography should be performed q 6-12h.
