Frequency and Outcome of Development of Coronary Artery Aneurysm After Intracoronary Stent Placement and Angioplasty

Frequency and Outcome of Development of Coronary Artery Aneurysm After Intracoronary Stent Placement and Angioplasty

Elective Palmaz-Schatz intracoronary stent implantation does not increase the risk for coronary artery aneurysm formation. Angiographic restenosis and clinical outcome are not affected by the development of a coronary artery aneurysm after percutaneous transluminal coronary artery or stent placement...
