Abstract

Read online

Although covered stents have been available for percutaneous treatment of coronary aneurysms, patients with longer aneurysmal segments have been difficult to treat with covered stents. We describe a case of a right coronary artery aneurysm with an angiographically estimated length exceeding 30 mm treated percutaneously using covered stents and conventionally available hardware. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
