Percutaneous placement of a saphenous vein allograft attached to a biliary stent was described as a treatment strategy for a coronary artery pseudoaneurysm.
Case Report (n=1)
Percutaneous placement of a saphenous vein allograft attached to a biliary stent offers a potential novel treatment strategy for coronary artery pseudoaneurysms.
May offer a bailout percutaneous option in select cases; leaves open safety, durability, and generalizability.
Late coronary artery pseudoaneurysm formation is a rare complication of perforation following percutaneous intervention. While surgical intervention is the treatment of choice for large expanding pseudoaneurysms, the optimal treatment strategy for small-to-moderate pseudoaneurysms is unclear. We describe the percutaneous placement of a saphenous vein allograft for treatment of a coronary artery pseudoaneurysm presenting as a late complication of coronary perforation.

Kaplan et al. (1996) conducted a case report in Coronary artery pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Percutaneous placement of a saphenous vein allograft attached to a biliary stent was evaluated. Percutaneous placement of a saphenous vein allograft attached to a biliary stent was described as a treatment strategy for a coronary artery pseudoaneurysm.
