Abstract
Stent infection is a rare complication of coronary angioplasty. We report a case of a coronary stent bacterial infection due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, shortly after implantation of the stent in the left circumflex artery, which presented as an acute pericarditis. Surgical treatment consisted of stent removal and partial excision of the circumflex artery without coronary artery bypass grafting.Entities:
