Coronary artery aneurysmal fistula: a late complication of stent deployment

Successful Surgical Treatment of an Infected Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm-to-Right Ventricle Fistula after Sirolimus-eluting Stent Implantation

“…There has been no recurrence of fever or angina in the past 16 months. Table 1 (5,6,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)). Bacterial cultures of blood in the present case repeatedly grew S. aureus (Fig.…”

Acquired coronary cameral fistula — A report of two cases

“…With increasing numbers of endovascular procedures, the incidence of acquired fistulas are escalating. [20].…”

Occurrence of a saccular pseudoaneurysm formation two weeks after perforation of the left anterior descending coronary artery during balloon angioplasty in acute myocardial infarction

“…1). True coronary aneurysms of all causes appear to be benign and thus most are left untreated [39,41,42,[45][46][47][48][49]53,54,89,96,97]. However, a few cases of sudden cardiac death due to rupture of a coronary aneurysm were reported [3,41,51,98].…”

“…If contrast dye drains into a cardiac cavity, such as ventricle or coronary sinus, the subtype CS for cavity spilling is discriminated. Type IIICS perforation into right [28,[33][34][35] or left ventricle [36][37][38], right atrial space [39], or coronary sinus [40] are rare complications.…”

“…True coronary aneurysms may occur spontaneously with an incidence up to 4.9% as discrete or more fusiforme dilatation of coronary arteries [44]. Also, true coronary aneurysm are not uncommon findings after balloon angioplasty in up to 5% [45][46][47][48][49], after directional coronary atherectomy [50,51] and stent implantation [39,[52][53][54][55][56].…”
