Abstract :
Interventricular septal hematoma is a rare complication of retrograde chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with a typically benign course. Here we report two cases of interventricular septal hematoma and coronarycameral fistula development after right coronary artery (RCA) CTO-PCI using a retrograde approach. Both were complicated
by development of ST-segment elevation and chest pain. One case was managed actively and the other conservatively, both with a
favorable outcome.
