Development of coronary aneurysm after cutting balloon angioplasty: assessment by intracoronary ultrasound

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1998 Aug;44(4):449-52. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1097-0304(199808)44:4<449::aid-ccd20>3.0.co;2-c.

Abstract

We report the case of a coronary aneurysm observed 6 mo after cutting balloon angioplasty complicated by a mild perforation. Intravascular ultrasound allowed characterization of the malformation as a true aneurysm. The clinical course was uneventful.
