Zusammenfassung:	Coronary perforations are usually apparent immediately after the occurrence. We report a case of a 67‐year‐old woman where coronary perforation presented 16 hours after the procedure. This case illustrates the need for extra vigilance and careful evaluation of distal vasculature while using stiff coronary guidewires. Cathet. Cardiovasc.
