Graft stent implantation is a feasible and effective percutaneous treatment for life-threatening coronary artery pseudoaneurysms that develop as a rare complication of bare metal stent placement.
May support graft stenting for rare post-BMS pseudoaneurysms; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before wider use.
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.
