A Hybrid Covered Stent–Coil Strategy for Complex Dual Aneurysms of the Left Anterior Descending Artery

AKAhmet KıvrakAAAhmet Hakan AteşEKErgün Barış Kaya

Key Points

  • This report aims to present a treatment strategy for complex dual aneurysms located in the left anterior descending artery.
  • Described a case of a 67-year-old man with dual coronary artery aneurysms confirmed by coronary computed tomography angiography.
  • Utilized intravascular ultrasound to clarify aneurysm morphology and assess branch vessel involvement.
  • Involved a hybrid covered stent-coil technique for intervention.
  • Successfully managed dual aneurysms while preserving distal flow to the adjacent diagonal branches.
  • Demonstrated the feasibility of a hybrid strategy in a challenging anatomical situation.

Abstract

Coronary artery aneurysms are uncommon and may be particularly difficult to treat when they coexist with significant stenosis and branch vessel involvement.We present a 67-year-old man with stable angina and no previous coronary imaging.Coronary computed tomography angiography demonstrated 2 adjacent aneurysms in the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD): a fusiform aneurysm followed by a larger saccular aneurysm.Coronary angiography confirmed sequential dual LAD aneurysms with preserved distal flow, while the first and second diagonal branches arose from the distal margin of the saccular aneurysm (Figure 1).Intravascular ultrasound clarified aneurysm morphology, branch
