Özet

This study describes coronary angiographic and intravascular ultrasound evaluation of late coronary artery aneurysms after percutaneous balloon angioplasty and bailout stent implantation. Intravascular ultrasound distinguishes true aneurysms from pseudoaneurysms. The discussion is focused on the etiology and prognosis of this rare complication. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
