  • Title: Acute large pseudoaneurysm of the left anterior descending artery following bypass surgery: combined percutaneous approach with a PTFE-coated coronary stent and coil embolization.
    Author: Minden HH, Just S, Butter C.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2007 Jan; 19(1):E15-8. PubMed ID: 17297190.
    Abstract:
    Injury of a native coronary vessel during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is very rare. We report a case of a 76-year-old patient who developed a large pseudoaneurysm of the left anterior descending artery following CABG. The patient was then successfully treated by polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE)-stent graft implantation and percutaneous coil embolization. A coronary artery pseudoaneurysm caused by intraoperative damage has not been described previously.
