Giant right coronary pseudo-aneurysm 6 years after angioplasty and stenting

Giant aneurysm of saphenous vein bypass for right coronary after angioplasty.

Coronary aneurysm formation after primary coronary angioplasty.

We describe the case of a man who underwent primary angioplasty with stenting for acute myocardial infarction and subsequently developed a coronary artery aneurysm at the site of stent deployment. The aneurysm grew rapidly in size over a few weeks and required treatment with a covered stent. The use of intravascular ultrasound equipped with special software for colour blood flow imaging contrib...

Giant coronary sinus aneurysm secondary to right coronary arteriovenous fistula leading to pseudo-mitral stenosis

We herein report a case in which a right coronary to coronary sinus arteriovenous fistula determined progressive aneurysmatic dilatation of the coronary sinus. Severe compression of the left atrium ensued. This led to a clinical and instrumental picture similar to that observed in severe mitral stenosis.

Postcardiac injury syndrome after coronary angioplasty and stenting.

Pleuropericarditis has been described in many patients after a variety of cardiac insults, including infarction and surgery or trauma to the heart. The syndrome of fever, pleural effusion, chest pain, and an elevated sedimentation rate after cardiac injury is referred to as the postcardiac injury syndrome (PCIS). PCIS actually includes two distinct entities, the postmyocardial infarction syndro...
