Coronary artery pseudoaneurysm after balloon angioplasty and intracoronary beta-radiation for in-stent restenosis.
Intracoronary brachytherapy is an effective method for treating in-stent restenosis. We report a case of coronary artery pseudoaneurysm after balloon angioplasty and intracoronary beta-radiation. The pseudoaneurysm was treated successfully with implantation of two coronary stent grafts.
