Core Tip

Core Tip: The use of a remnant balloon for sealing a coronary perforation can be a cost-effective method of treating this complication using a readily available material. In cases where the sealing of the perforation is indicated, a careful and controlled approach for delivering the balloon remnant will ensure the safe and effective delivery and the sealing of the perforation which in turn will help stabilize and safe the patient by controlling any further bleeding.
