Percutaneous treatment of a large coronary aneurysm using the self-expandable Symbiot PTFE-covered stent

Chest. 2004 Aug;126(2):644-5. doi: 10.1378/chest.126.2.644.

Abstract

We report a complex case of percutaneous intervention on a right coronary artery with calcific stenoses and a large coronary aneurysm with long longitudinal diameter, which was successfully performed using a polytetrafluoroethylene-covered self-expandable stent (Symbiot; Boston Scientific; Natick, MA). The use of this new device may enhance the anatomic indications for percutaneous interventions on coronary aneurysms.
