ABSTRACT
Coronary perforation remains a dreaded complication of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We present a case of successful CTO recanalization complicated by a perforation treated by n-butyl-cyanoacrylate (medical "super-glue"). We also present an in vitro experiment showing that a glue plug in a plastic tube can acutely be passed by a low tip load guide wire and undergo balloon angioplasty recreating a lumen. These results suggest that n-butyl-cyanoacrylate glue may be an alternative for treating perforation during CTO PCI with the possibility of recanalizing the vessel through the glue plug at a later time.
