Interventional treatment of giant pseudoaneurysm with subsequent decompression of internal mammaria bypass

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2002 Dec;57(4):525-8. doi: 10.1002/ccd.10368.

Abstract

We present a case of a 38-year-old patient with angina after direct current (DC) cardioversion. The patient's medical history included documented coronary heart disease with interventional treatment of the LAD and RCA followed by emergency CABG 6 months ago. On recent admission, the coronary angiography revealed a giant pseudoaneurysm of the left descending coronary artery complicated by compression of LIMA. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated with three stent grafts.
