Abstract:
A 65-year-old woman with immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD), which was managed with a corticosteroid, underwent percutaneous coronary stent implantation in the left anterior descending artery as a result of angina pectoris. After 9 months, coronary angiography revealed stent migration and occlusion caused by progression of a coronary aneurysm potentially associated with IgG4-RD. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.
