Özet

We report perforation of two side branches of the right coronary artery during selective coronary angiography. We suppose that forceful injection of contrast into a non-dominant artery with severe proximal stenosis could have led to this complication. To the best of our knowledge this is the second reported case of coronary perforation during angiography.
