Abstract
A 64-year-old woman underwent excimer laser angioplasty of the right coronary artery. The procedure was complicated by perforation, which was successfully managed without complication with a Stack perfusion catheter. This report describes successful non-surgical treatment of laser-induced coronary perforation and makes recommendations for avoiding this complication in other patients.Keywords
