Successful treatment of coronary artery pseudoaneurysm by graft stent, which developed after the implantation of bare metal stent

Abstract

Although coronary artery pseudoaneurysm which could occur following percutaneous coronary interventions is a rare complication, it can be mortal. As soon as the pseu­doaneurysm is diagnosed, it should be treated by percu­taneous intervention or surgery. Graft stent implantation is a preferred treatment for appropriate patients. In this case report, we presented a successful treatment of coro­nary artery pseudoaneurysm by graft stent; which devel­oped after the implantation of bare metal stent into the left anterior descending coronary artery.

Çıplak stent implantasyonu sonrası gelişen koroner arter psödoanevrizmasının greft stent ile başarılı tedavisi

Abstract

Koroner arter psödoanevrizması, perkütan koroner giri­şim sonrası nadir görülmesine karşın ölümcül olabilen bir komplikasyondur. Tanısı konulduğunda perkütan ya da cerrahi olarak tedavi edilmesi gerekir. Uygun vakalarda greft kaplı stent tercih edilen tedavi yöntemidir. Bu yazıda sol ön inen koroner artere çıplak metal stent implantasyo­nu sonrası gelişen koroner arter psödoanenvrizmasının greft stent ile başarılı tedavisinin yapıldığı bir olgu sunul­du.
