abstract={We present a case of iatrogenic distal coronary artery obstruction secondary to staples recently used to control massive bleeding from cardiac stab wound. Coronary artery occlusion was discovered on elective cardiac catheterization done for anginal chest pains a few weeks after initial cardiac laceration repair surgery. Due to the potential risk of coronary artery rupture with endovascular intervention in this case with metallic staples around the distal coronary artery, conservative management was adopted. This is a case of a rare but clinically important iatrogenic complication.},
