Covered Stent Herniation into Coronary Aneurysm Sac—A Case-Inspired Review of Neurointerventional Realignment Techniques

Background: Coronary aneurysms are an infrequent finding in diagnostic angiography, with a reported incidence of 0.35–0.7% in the largest contemporary registries. At least half of them have an atherosclerotic etiology and as such they are often diagnosed in the setting of acute coronary syndrome. Th...

description Background: Coronary aneurysms are an infrequent finding in diagnostic angiography, with a reported incidence of 0.35–0.7% in the largest contemporary registries. At least half of them have an atherosclerotic etiology and as such they are often diagnosed in the setting of acute coronary syndrome. The wiring of a thrombosed aneurysm is a difficult task and after successful recanalization, the operator has to decide on the optimal method of aneurysm exclusion. Covered stents are commonly deployed, but their use involves the risk of delivery failure as well as device dislodgement and loss due to their stiffness and size. Moreover, proper stent sizing and apposition is difficult in the case of thrombosed aneurysms. Case presentation: We present a case of coronary aneurysm recanalization and exclusion with a covered stent, with a postdilation-induced stent foreshortening. Due to the subsequent stent migration into the aneurysm sac, its repositioning was attempted. The pitfalls of coronary aneurysm stenting and neurointerventional techniques of prolapsed device realignment are discussed. Conclusions: An adequate landing zone is of the utmost importance in aneurysm exclusion with covered stents. In the case of a short stent anchoring in the normal vessel, another covered or conventional stent should be deployed to mitigate the risk of the device migration.
