| Abstract: | We describe a case of type 2 coronary artery perforation in a 73-year-old man undergoing coronary artery rotablation and stenting with abciximab therapy. The coronary artery perforation was successfully treated by coil embolization with Trufill pushable coils made from platinum alloy and synthetic fibers to promote maximum thrombogenicity. |
