Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1998 Mar;43(3):308-10. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1097-0304(199803)43:3<308::aid-ccd14>3.0.co;2-h.

Abstract

Coronary artery aneurysm is a rare but recognized complication following percutaneous intervention. We report the formation of such an aneurysm after recanalization with Excimer laser wire of a chronic totally occluded left anterior descending coronary artery and stent implantation and its subsequent treatment using an autologous vein graft-coated stent.
