This case report discusses a 47-year-old male patient with unstable angina and coronary artery aneurysm, highlighting the innovative treatment approach of percutaneous closure using a Jostent stent graft. Following initial success with TIMI 3 flow and minimal residual stenosis, the patient experienced a late in-stent thrombosis six months post-procedure, leading to an acute myocardial infarction. The case emphasizes the need for extended dual antiplatelet therapy and suggests that percutaneous closure may be a feasible management option for coronary aneurysms.

Introduction Atherosclerosis of coronary artery may result in lumen narrowing or anurysm formation. Coronary anurysm enhances the risk of local thrombosis and/or peripheral embolisation. There is no established treatment for large coronary aneurysms.
Description of the problem Case report: • Age 47 / male • Symptoms: Unstable Angina. • Medical History: non-Q myocardial infarction in 1994. • Risk factors: Hypercholesterolaemia, ex-smoker.
Description of the problem • Concomitant treatment of coronary artery stenosis and aneurysm. • Percutaneous closure of left anterior descending coronary artery aneurysm with stent graft.
Left anterior descending coronary artery aneurysm. Coronary angiography: LCA: LM-short, without narrowing LAD-proximal aneurysm (diam. ca 5-6mm), critical narrowings in med segment (90 and 75%) Cx-50-60% lesion in med segment. RCA: dominant, normal. LCA: RAO 30
Intended strategy • Guiding catheter: Judkins Left 4, 7F • Stent graft Jostent 3.0x16mm on balloon 3.5x20mm Quantuum • Predilatation of LAD and placement of a PTFE – covered stent • Direct stenting to med Cx Technical data:
Stenting • Administration of ticlopidine and ASA 2 days before procedure • Routine anticoagulation during procedure. • Predilatation and stentimplantation to LAD (3.0 / 16mm Jostent coronary stent graft with 16 atm) • Direct stenting to med Cx
Acute Result • TIMI 3 flow after stentimplantation • Non significant residual stenosis • No complication
Long-term sequel • Acute MI after 6 months (late in-stent thrombosis) • Successful thrombolysis combined with IIb/IIIa inhibitor.
Summary • A 47 year old male withunstable angina was addmitted to the hospital for interventional diagnosis and treatment. • Coronary angiography showed a LAD eccentric aneurysmand double-vessel coronary artery disease (LAD, Cx). • The aneurysm and the lesion in proximal portion of LAD were treated with stent graft.The lesion more distally was treated with balloon angioplasty. Lesion in the Cx was stented. • Patient left hospital on combined antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and ticlopidine ordered for 3 months. • After 6 months patient suffered from anterior AMI caused by late in-stent thrombosis, which was successfully treated with thrombolysis and IIb/IIIa inhibitor.
Message • Percutaneous coronary aneurysm closure with Jostent Graft is feasible and efficient. • The use of this stentrequires an extended course of double antiplatelet therapy.
