Abstract
Late-acquired angiographic coronary aneurysm formation after drug-eluting stent implantation is a rare phenomenon but potentially life-threatening event that has become a major cause of concern. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging method that allows detailed evaluation of stent strut coverage and characterization of neointimal tissue. This case report describes the possible mechanism of late-acquired angiographic coronary aneurysm formation after bare-metal stent implantation using OCT and intravascular ultrasound.Entities:
