A cockscomb-like aneurysm of the right coronary artery after bare metal stent implantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) formation is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening event after coronary balloon angioplasty or stent implantation. In this report, we present a case of a patient who had a cockscomb-like aneurysm after bare metal stent implantation which was successfully treated with a coronary graft stent.

Effectiveness of Bare Metal Stent Implantation for the Treatment of Coronary Artery Aneurysm: A Multimodality Imaging Evaluation
Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation is one of the most troublesome problems associated with first-generation drug-eluting stents. However, the natural course and standard therapy of CAA has been unknown. A 49-year-old man underwent SES implantation for the left anterior descending artery. Follow-up coronary angiography (CAG) revealed CAA in the SES. W...

INTRODUCTION Coronary stenting has previously been considered to be less feasible in children under 12 years old due to the limitation of vascular access. We report the case of a six-year-old boy who successfully underwent stent implantation for his totally occluded right coronary artery. CASE PRESENTATION A Taiwanese boy aged six years and nine months old was found to have giant aneurysms af...

Stent fracture (SF) has been suggested to be an unusual cause of restenosis after drug eluting-stent implantation. However, angiographically visible SF after bare metal stent (BMS) implantation is extremely rare. We present a case of a 58 year-old male patient who presented with unstable angina secondary to a SF of a BMS within two months of elective percutaneous coronary intervention for right...

Background and Purpose:Coronary artery Stenting is known to improve the outcome for ischemic heart disease. Many clinical studies have been performed to determine the long-term outcome of coronary Stenting and most of them were based on first-generation bare-metal Stents. The aim of this study is to evaluate long-term (24 6.4 month) results of second-generation bare metal stent. Materials an...

A 60-year-old man, who had claudication in his right limb due to total occlusion of the right superficial femoral artery, received bare metal stents. Although the bare metal stents in the superficial femoral artery did not show restenosis 5 years after stent implantation, angiography revealed significant in-stent restenosis when he developed right critical limb ischemia at 8 years post implanta...
