ABSTRACT: Complication rates following percutaneous
interventions have decreased over the past decade due to advancement in both
interventional equipment and procedure technique. Despite these advances, the
risk of iatrogenic perforations still exists with associated high morbidity and
mortality. We are presenting three cases of guidewire-induced perforations
including coronary artery and renal artery perforation with their complications
and successful management in these case-series.
