Repair of a coronary pseudoaneurysm with percutaneous placement of a saphenous vein allograft attached to a biliary stent

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1996 Feb;37(2):208-12. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1097-0304(199602)37:2<208::AID-CCD23>3.0.CO;2-E.

Abstract

Late coronary artery pseudoaneurysm formation is a rare complication of perforation following percutaneous intervention. While surgical intervention is the treatment of choice for large expanding pseudoaneurysms, the optimal treatment strategy for small-to-moderate pseudoaneurysms is unclear. We describe the percutaneous placement of a saphenous vein allograft for treatment of a coronary artery pseudoaneurysm presenting as a late complication of coronary perforation.
