Successful Percutaneous Treatment of Coronary Artery Ectasia with Drug-Eluting Stent

“…Stefanadis et al has reported superior outcomes covered stents for sealing of coronary aneurysm as compared to bare metal stent [12]. Drug-eluting stent reduces the rate of re-stenosis but due to larger vessel diameter in ectatic coronary artery disease, it is generally not used in this clinical condition [6] [13]. However, Rha et al has reported successful implantation of two drug-eluting stents parallel to each other in ectatic LAD artery [13].…”

Two Different Successful Angioplasty Methods in Patients with Stenotic Coronary Artery Ectasia

“…Stefanadis et al reported the successful deployment of an autologous venous graft-covered stent to a coronary aneurysm 9. Rha et al reported a challenging case of "parallel stenting" in which two 3.5×180-mm sirolimus-eluting stents were used in parallel to each other in a patient with CAE with IVUS guidance 10. In a literature review of the management of CAE cases, we found no standard treatment option or long-term follow-up results with revascularization therapy.…”

The Clinical Role of CT-Based Morphologic Description in Severely Calcified Coronary Arteries Ectasia Encountering Acute Coronary Syndrome

“…Surgical revascularization is also recommended in such situation. With the help of intravascular ultrasound, percutaneous intervention could be performed safely with adequate vessel assessment [13]. …”
