Abstract: The natural history of coronary aneurysms, defined as local dilatations exceeding the diameter of the normal adjacent vessel segments by at least 1.5 times, is not significantly different from the natural history of nonaneurysmal coronary disease. However, little is known about the prognosis of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PCTA)-induced coronary aneurysms. Therefore, we investigated the occurrence and the medium long-term prognosis of such aneurysms in 728 patients who, after successful PTCA… Show more

“…Coronary aneurysm after dilation has been reported in 3.9% of the cases, and the presence of dissection at the time of angioplasty has been associated with late coronary aneurysm development [14]. Fukutomi et al [10] reported that one of their three coronary perforations after balloon angioplasty progressed toward aneurysm formation, whereas five out of six displayed aneurysmal dilatation after coronary perforation secondary to dilatation with the cutting balloon catheter.…”

“…Although VBD involves all types of vessels, coronary involvement is extremely rare (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) (14). The early-onset types are less frequent, and probably represent contained perforations, which would make them false aneurysms (15) i g u r e 5 .…”
