Coronary Artery Aneurysm After Bioresorbable Scaffold Implantation

The clinical course of coronary artery aneurysms after drug-eluting stent implantation is variable. Some aneurysms naturally resolve, but some can lead to complications such as stent thrombosis. In order to avoid such complications, it is important to reduce as much as possible the chance of exposin...

Summary:The clinical course of coronary artery aneurysms after drug-eluting stent implantation is variable. Some aneurysms naturally resolve, but some can lead to complications such as stent thrombosis. In order to avoid such complications, it is important to reduce as much as possible the chance of exposing causal factors, and intravascular imaging may be needed in order to accurately assess the results of stent deployment and apposition. In the presented case, intravascular imaging was shown to be useful in accurately assessing the results of bioresorbable stent deployment and apposition.
