Percutaneous closure of coronary artery aneurysm:

long term implication

Percutaneous closure of coronary artery aneurysm:

long term implication

Introduction

Atherosclerosis of coronary artery may result in lumen narrowing or anurysm formation.

Coronary anurysm enhances the risk of local thrombosis and/or peripheral embolisation.

There is no established treatment for large coronary aneurysms.

Intended strategy

• Guiding catheter: Judkins Left 4, 7F

• Stent graft Jostent 3.0x16mm on balloon 3.5x20mm Quantuum

• Predilatation of LAD and placement of a PTFE – covered stent

• Direct stenting to med Cx

• Guiding catheter: Judkins Left 4, 7F

• Stent graft Jostent 3.0x16mm on balloon 3.5x20mm Quantuum

• Predilatation of LAD and placement of a PTFE – covered stent

• Direct stenting to med Cx

Technical data:Technical data:

Stenting

• Administration of ticlopidine and ASA 2 days before procedure

• Routine anticoagulation during procedure.

• Predilatation and stent implantation to LAD (3.0 / 16mm Jostent coronary stent graft with 16 atm)

• Direct stenting to med Cx

• Administration of ticlopidine and ASA 2 days before procedure

• Routine anticoagulation during procedure.

• Predilatation and stent implantation to LAD (3.0 / 16mm Jostent coronary stent graft with 16 atm)

• Direct stenting to med Cx

Acute Result

• TIMI 3 flow after stent implantation

• Non significant residual stenosis

• No complication

• TIMI 3 flow after stent implantation

• Non significant residual stenosis

• No complication

Long-term sequel

• Acute MI after 6 months (late in-stent thrombosis)

• Successful thrombolysis combined with IIb/IIIa inhibitor.

• Acute MI after 6 months (late in-stent thrombosis)

• Successful thrombolysis combined with IIb/IIIa inhibitor.

Summary

• A 47 year old male with unstable angina was addmitted to the hospital for interventional diagnosis and treatment.

• Coronary angiography showed a LAD eccentric aneurysm and double-vessel coronary artery disease (LAD, Cx).

• The aneurysm and the lesion in proximal portion of LAD were treated with stent graft. The lesion more distally was treated with balloon angioplasty. Lesion in the Cx was stented.

• Patient left hospital on combined antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and ticlopidine ordered for 3 months.

• After 6 months patient suffered from anterior AMI caused by late in-stent thrombosis, which was successfully treated with thrombolysis and IIb/IIIa inhibitor.

Message

• Percutaneous coronary aneurysm closure with Jostent Graft is feasible and efficient.

• The use of this stent requires an extended course of double antiplatelet therapy.
