Hybrid Strategy to Treat Life-Threatening Giant Coronary Artery Aneurysm With Severe In-Stent Restenosis.
Coronary artery aneurysm following drug-eluting stent implantation is rare in the literature. The presentation combined a life-threatening condition with severe in-stent restenosis. How to treat this condition is a complex problem because a surgical approach for a proximal left circumflex lesion is difficult. A hybrid method that is a combination of coronary bypass surgery and coronary stenting for left main bifurcation in-stent restenosis and proximal coronary artery aneurysm is a feasible strategy.
