Abstract
We report a successful case of coil embolization for accidental pulmonary artery perforation due to pulmonary artery catheterization (PAC) that was performed as preoperative examination in the patient with severe aortic stenosis (severe AS). The patient was recovered from life-threatening circulatory shock by the emergency coil embolization with one-lung ventilation. The patient was extubated on day 2 and transferred from ICU to the general ward on day 5. Twelve days after embolization, elective aortic valve replacement (AVR) was performed and discharged after a 42-days hospital stay without complications.
