  • Title: Chest stab wound-related coronary artery pseudoaneurysm sealed with a polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stent.
    Author: Hong SJ, Lim DS, Kim YH, Shim WJ, Park CG, Seo HS, Oh DJ, Ro YM.
    Journal: Heart Vessels; 2005 Sep; 20(5):233-5. PubMed ID: 16160907.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case in which a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stent was implanted to treat impending rupture of a coronary artery pseudoaneurysm related to a chest stab wound. In this case, transthoracic echocardiography was used to verify the characteristics of the pseudoaneurysm, and we concluded that a PTFE-covered stent may prevent rupture in post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm.
