Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is a major complication of percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI). The management of CAP can be challenging, requiring tailored approaches
based on specific clinical scenarios. We are reporting outcome data on six patients
who experienced distal CAP during PCI and were 100% successfully treated using absorbable
gelatin sponge embolization without procedural or immediate postprocedural complications.
