Abstract

ABSTRACT Percutaneous transluminal coronary rotational atherectomy (PTCRA) is an established treatment for very calcifi ed and/or undilatable coronary lesions. In contrast to data from directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) procedures, coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) or pseudoaneurysms have not routinely been described as a complication after PTCRA. We present a case of a 74-year-old patient, with a major CAA, found on a routine control coronary angiogram 4 months after a PTCRA of LAD complicated by a coronary perforation. A conservative management guided by coronary CT angiography is proposed.
