Abstract
A coronary artery perforation is a rare complication after percutaneou s transluminal coronary angioplasty. The therapy will be determined by the hemodynamic failure of the left or right ventricle. A case of a c oronary artery perforation with a shunt from the right coronary artery to the right ventricle after coronary angioplasty is reported. The sh unt was detected by coronary angiography and confirmed by magnetic res onance imaging and doppler echocardiography.
