The pulmonary arteries have thinner walls than the blood vessels of the heart and therefore injury by rupture or dissection caused by over-dilatation of the<unk>  or piercing pulmonary arteries by the tip of the guide wire, resulting in haemorrhage, are risks. Injury to the lung including reperfusion oedema is also a possibility and these injuries are less likely with more experienced specialists.
