A case of early development of giant coronary artery aneurysms after drug-eluting stents implantation: An unpredictable menace
نویسندگان
چکیده
Development of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) after implantation of drug-eluting stent is occasionally observed. We present a case of a 67-year-old man who underwent everolimus-eluting stent (EES) implantation in right coronary artery (RCA) for inferior wall myocardial infarction, and thereafter, giant CAAs were developed in the vessel of stent deployment, within 2 months. However, the patient was managed with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). On follow-up, the patient's condition was stable. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of occurrence of EES-associated giant CAAs in RCA subsequently treated with CABG.

Introduction Although the coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are not uncommon, giant aneurysms are rare. Clinical presentation, prognosis and management of giant CAA are not well defined due to limited experience. Recently, there are increasing reports suggesting the occurrence of CAA as a complication of drug eluting stent implantation and angioplasty. Therefore, there is a need to report present...

Coronary artery aneurysm after coronary interventions are rare but variable (0.2%-1.7%) clinicopathological entity depending on whether a incidental or a routine 6 monthly angiographic follow up finding and is seen more common with drug eluting stents (DES) rather than bare metal stents (BMS). It is of three types and depending on the type and patient clinical response further strategy (conserv...
متن کاملCoronary artery aneurysms after drug-eluting stent implantation.
Drug-eluting stents (DES), which locally elute antiproliferative drugs, can dramatically inhibit neointimal growth. However, several pathological studies have indicated that DES may delay healing after vascular injury, and DES implantation may be theoretically associated with a risk of coronary artery aneurysm formation. Coronary aneurysms have been reported from 3 days to up to 4 years after D...

A mong the rare complications after percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) reportedly have an incidence of 0.3% to 6.0%. The detection of CAAs vary from 3 days to up to 4 years after drug-eluting stent (DES) and from 6 days to up to 6 years after baremetal stents (BMS) implantation. Associated factors include residual dissection and deep arterial wall injury caused ...

This report describes the case of a 26-year-old male diagnosed with angina on exertion. A diagnostic coronary angiography revealed significant luminal narrowing at the middle third of the left anterior descending artery and proximal circumflex artery. The patient underwent implantation of sirolimus-eluting stents. Eight months after implantation of the stents, a follow-up coronary angiography s...
