Perforation of a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft during percutaneous coronary intervention is a rare event. We report a case of mid‐LIMA perforation treated by a polytetrafluoroethylene‐covered stent using a modification of the dual catheter (“ping pong”) technique. We propose that use of this modification when possible will further improve safety of treating a perforation. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
