چکیده

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 (conservative, covered stents or coronary artery bypass surgery) is decided. We report a patient with large type 2 coronary artery aneurysms post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the right coronary artery (RCA) and the Left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and presenting four months later.
