Turk Kardiyol Dern Ars. 2019 Oct;47(7):609-611. doi: 10.5543/tkda.2018.02446.

Abstract

A coronary artery aneurysm is a challenging cli-nical situation due to the lack of sufficient evidence from randomized controlled studies and the lack of consensus on a management strategy. The present case is a description of the exclusion of a middle segment aneurysm of the left circumflex coronary artery using a PK Papyrus covered stent (Biotronik, AG, Bulach, Switzerland). The final images were favorable.
