Coronary Artery Aneurysm After Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation Causing Coronary-Bronchial Fistula
Abstract
Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) after drug-eluting stent implantation is rare, with a reported incidence of 0.3% to 6.0%. Most of these aneurysms are asymptomatic. Hemoptysis as a presentation of CAA is very rare. The patient in our case had CAA after zotarolimus-eluting stent implantation and presented with hemoptysis resulting from a leaking coronary-bronchial fistula. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
