“…Other investigators suggested the use of vein graft-coated stent (8) or polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE) graft-covered stents (10). Another case has been successfully treated with IVUSguided primary stenting (2). In the present case we evaluated all options.…”

Chest Pain Due to Late Huge Coronary Pseudoaneurysm Following Stent Implantation

A 50-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of persistent atypical chest pain. His past medical history was remarkable for a non ST elevation myocardial infarction, treated five months previously with PCI on the right coronary artery. Two months later, for chest pain, he underwent coronary angiography that showed a right coronary artery with slight ectasia near the stent. Five months later for the persistence of atypical chest pain he came to our clinic. Chest CT showed a 31.5 mm hematoma of the right coronary artery. Coronary angiography revealed a giant aneurysm, proximal to the stent. In the light of rapid growth of aneurysm, the risk of rupture and symptoms, we decided to treat the aneurysm with covered stents. The patient underwent successful PCI with regression of symptoms.

“…The best treatment for a pseudoaneurysm is not codified between a surgical treatment with resection or exclusion associated with coronary bypass grafting, and an interventional treatment either with classical or covered stent approach [4].The purpose is to cover the collar of the pseudoaneurysm in order to reduce the blood flow and promote thrombosis, thus preventing the expansion and subsequent rupture of the pseudoaneurysm. In our patient, the choice of a surgical treatment was guided by several factors as noted earlier.…”

There are no reported cases of a pseudoaneurysm leading to a fistula into the pulmonary artery after percutaneous coronary intervention. We describe a patient who developed a late pseudoaneurysm after left main trunk (LMT) stenting with paclitaxeleluting stent, discovered during coronary angiography. Transesophageal echocardiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomographic scan revealed a pericardial effusion, a large pseudoaneurysm communicating with LMT and a fistula into the pulmonary artery. The recommended therapy was surgery.
