Coronary pseudoaneurysms (CPAs) are rare complications developed after percutaneous coronary interventions. They may cause stent thrombosis, distal embolization, and coronary rupture leading to cardiac tamponade. Therefore, high-risk CPA should be promptly treated after diagnosis. They can be managed with percutaneous or surgical intervention. Herein, we aimed to present a patient who developed CPA 3 weeks after percutaneous coronary intervention and successfully treated with percutaneous intervention using a covered stent.

Çelik et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Coronary pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Covered stent implantation was evaluated on Complications during follow-up. Implantation of a covered stent successfully treated a coronary pseudoaneurysm that developed 3 weeks after percutaneous coronary intervention, with no complications during a 3-month follow-up.
