Summary
Coronary artery aneurysms, though uncommon, can be effectively managed. This case report demonstrates the successful treatment of a large coronary artery aneurysm using MGuardTM stent implantation, highlighting its safety and efficacy.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
Background:
- Coronary artery aneurysm is an uncommon condition characterized by significant dilatation of the coronary arteries.
- Diagnosis is typically made via coronary angiography, but management and prognosis remain challenging.
- Coronary artery dilatation is defined as exceeding normal adjacent segments or the patient's largest coronary vessel diameter by 1.5 to 2 times.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case of successful treatment for a large coronary artery aneurysm.
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of MGuardTM stent implantation for coronary artery aneurysms.
Main Methods:
- A 68-year-old male patient presented with angina.
- Coronary angiography identified a large right coronary artery aneurysm.
- Percutaneous implantation of an MGuardTM stent was performed.
Main Results:
- The MGuardTM stent successfully excluded the large coronary artery aneurysm.
- The procedure demonstrated the device's high flexibility and excellent deliverability.
- Complete aneurysm exclusion was achieved, likely facilitated by endothelization of the stent's mesh sleeves.
Conclusions:
- MGuardTM stent implantation is a safe and effective treatment option for large coronary artery aneurysms.
- The stent's design facilitates complete aneurysm exclusion through endothelization.
- This case supports the use of MGuardTM stents in managing complex coronary artery pathologies.
