N2 - We describe myocardial perforation during left ventriculography using the Gensini catheter in two patients with aortic valve disease. In each case this occurred despite careful catheter positioning and prior 'test' injection of contrast agent. The use of the Gensini catheter for left ventriculography in this circumstance is seriously questioned.
