A journal article titled; percutaneous coronary intervention in coronary artery aneurysms; technical aspects.Report of case series and literature review was submitted for review.This case reports that a patient presented with an inferior stemi.Coronary angiography via right radial access route showed an acute occlusion in the rca.The coronary artery aneurysms (caa) became apparent only following wiring the vessel.Covered stent with an appropriate size was not immediately available in the catheterisation laboratory, therefore pci was attempted with a 2.5 × 12 mm semicompliant balloon and a 3.5 × 34 mm resolute onyx drug eluting stent (des).The second aneurysm became apparent after stent deployment.It was this second aneurysm which was occluded.A 3.5 × 38 mm resolute onyx stent was deployed overlapping the first stent.It was then decided to line the stents with a covered stent.Upon trying to advance the covered stent, the guide catheter and the wire position were lost.The guide catheter was switched from jr4 to ar1 and the vessel was rewired.When advancing the guide liner extension catheter the proximal stent was displaced forward inside the large aneurysm and buckled.Thereafter it was not possible to advance a balloon or other devices through the angled stent.Given the low likelihood of success and potentially life-threatening complications, the procedure was abandoned, and medical therapy was suggested.The patient remained stable and was discharged home a few days later with combination of medications.The patient was followed up in the outpatient clinic after two months' time and reported no cardiovascular symptoms.
