Özet
Percutaneous coronary interventions which are widely performed for atherosclerotic heart diseases have become almost an outpatient practice. However, being an invasive intervention, coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary interventions may have some serious complications. In this article, we report an 81-year-old male case with a complication of percutaneous coronary intervention where the balloon catheter was entrapped in the right coronary artery and emergent coronary artery bypass grafting was required. This report aims to emphasize the need for a cardiovascular team in hospitals performing percutaneous coronary interventions although some respected guidelines do not require such a set-up.
