Typical coronary artery aneurysm exactly within drug-eluting stent implantation region in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The information presented comes from a case report concerning a left anterior descending coronary artery aneurysm (CAA). The typical "zig-zag" phenomenon, developed exactly within the segment of the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES), and in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). The patient had a previous history of rheumatoid arthritis. We speculated that the CAA could be related to the vascular inflammatory reaction caused by the rheumatoid arthritis and the drug-eluting stent implantation.

An 82-year old woman presented with chest pain and was diagnosed as having acute myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography (CAG) showed 90% stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD). The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention using a sirolimus-eluting stent (SES). A repeat CAG performed 6 months after SES implantation revealed no problems. Eight years later,...
متن کاملA case of early development of giant coronary artery aneurysms after drug-eluting stents implantation: An unpredictable menace
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 ...

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...

Percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting is considered recently as the most common procedure for the treatment of symptomatic coronary. The article reviewed 41 studies published during 1997-2019 on intracoronary brachytherapy for in-stent restenosis of a drug-eluting stent. Intracoronary radiation therapy was finally confirmed in the setting of in-stent restenosis using as adjunctive th...

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...
