To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report illustrating the usage of these devices as an alternative for the treatment of SEC.

Coronary artery ectasia: current concepts and interventions

“…Autologous venous graftcovered stent is a valuable approach in selected cases to seal the coronary artery aneurysm (111). Biliary, sirulimus-eluting, and recently carotid stents have been used to intervene on the stenotic ectatic coronary arteries (112)(113)(114). However, there are no evidence-based guidelines for the management of stenotic lesions associated with CAE.…”
