This document discusses the treatment of coronary perforations during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTOs). It notes that while coronary perforations are common in CTO PCI, most do not have serious consequences. It then discusses risk factors, classification systems, and specific approaches to treating different types of perforations including main vessel, distal artery, and collateral vessel perforations. Two clinical cases are presented involving perforations during CTO PCI and the management in each case, including the use of covered stents, coils, pericardiocentesis, and in one case emergency surgery. General measures for managing perforations are also outlined.
