==Background==
Coronary perforation occurs when a [[dissection]] or an [[intimal]] tear is so severe that it extends outward sufficiently to completely penetrate the arterial wall.  It is an uncommon complication of [[PCI|coronary intervention]], with an incidence of 0.19%-0.58%<ref name="pmid16996872">{{cite journal |author=Javaid A, Buch AN, Satler LF, ''et al.'' |title=Management and outcomes of coronary artery perforation during percutaneous coronary intervention |journal=Am.

Associations with coronary perforation include:
* Balloon to artery ratio > 1.1
* Use of debulking procedure 
* Complex coronary anatomy (i.e. [[calcified]] lesion, [[chronic total occlusion]], [[tortuosity]] of the vessel and ostial lesion)
* Stiff and [[hydrophilic]] wires
 
==Classification==
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 other anatomic circulatory chamber
 
The Ellis Classification was evaluated as a predictor of certain outcomes and as a basis for management. Stratifying the outcomes by perforation type are summarized as follows<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>:
* '''Type I''' - No deaths or [[myocardial infarction]], [[tamponade]] incidence 8%
* '''Type II''' - No deaths, [[myocardial infarction]] incidence 14%, [[tamponade]] incidence 13%
* '''Type III''' - Mortality incidence 19%, cardiac [[tamponade]] incidence 63%, the need for urgent [[bypass surgery]] 63%
* '''Type III "cavity spilling" (CS)''' - No deaths, [[myocardial infarction]] or [[tamponade]], but sample limited in size
 
==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]].
 
==Treatment==
 
Many different treatment options exist.  First, the reversal of [[anticoatulation]] can be accomplished with [[Protamine]] if the patient is on [[heparin]] (guided by activated clotting time), or through [[platelet]] [[transfusions]] (4-10 units) if the patient was given [[abciximab]] or [[thienopyridine]].  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]]. If there is continued evidence of perforation, use perfusion balloons if available to allow for prolonged inflation without inducing myocardial [[ischemia]].
