| Abstract: | We describe a case of a coronary artery perforation involving the proximal right coronary artery that was successfully managed by percutaneous coil embolization. In the setting of a chronic coronary artery occlusion, this demonstrates the successful use of thrombogenic platinum alloy coils for a large proximal vessel perforation which has not been described previously. |
