Document Details : Title: Non-invasive follow-up of a coronary artery pseudoaneurysm after percutaneous transluminal coronary rotational atherectomy (PTCRA) Author(s): T. Cools , E. Benit Journal: Acta Cardiologica Volume: 68 Issue: 3 Date: 2013 Pages: 319-323 DOI: 10.2143/AC.68.3.2983428 Abstract : Percutaneous transluminal coronary rotational atherectomy (PTCRA) is an established treatment for very calcified and/or undilatable coronary lesions. In contrast to data from directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) procedures, coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) or pseudoaneurysms have not routinely been described as a complication after PTCRA. We present a case of a 74-year-old patient, with a major CAA, found on a routine control coronary angiogram 4 months after a PTCRA of LAD complicated by a coronary perforation. A conservative management guided by coronary CT angiography is proposed. |
