Successful Management of a Rare Case of Infected Coronary Stent and Mycotic Aneurysm of the Coronary Artery

Stent infection is a rare but serious complication that can lead to signifi cant morbidity and mortality. A 75-year-old man with a known history of diabetes underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease involving the right coronary artery (RCA). The patient presented to our hospital with stent infection and a subsequent pseudoaneurysm formation in the RCA. A multidisciplinary team decided on surgical intervention to manage stent-related infection. Infected stents were removed, the pseudoaneurysm was excised, and the RCA was reinforced. Additionally, the aortic valve was inspected and debrided. This case highlights the intricate management of complex coronary stent infections and the importance of a timely and coordinated multidisciplinary approach.
