1 8 Polytetrafluoroethylene 1 Intravascular Ultrasound Guided Polytetrafluoroethylene Coronary Stent Graft Implantation in a Patient With a Large Coronary Pseudoaneurysm at Eight Months After Coronary Intervention: A Case Report MD Tatsuya Yukio Masashi Hiroyuki Katsuhisa Yasuo Kenji Yoshinori Tomohiro Hiroaki YASUKAWA, MD OZAKI, MD, FJCC KAKIHANA, MD SHINJO, MD WASEDA, MD KURODA, MD ASAI, MD WAKITA, MD KONO, MD TAKASHIMA, Abstract A 67-year-old man with exertional angina presented with a large pseudoaneurysm of the right coronary artery at eight months after balloon angioplasty. Intravascular ultrasound revealed a large saccular pseudoaneurysm of mm diameter at the proximal segment of the right coronary artery. Complete closure of the coronary pseudoaneurysm was successfully obtained using a coronary stent graft consisting of a thin flexible polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE membrane placed between two stents using a unique sandwich technique. Follow-up angiography and intravascular ultrasound revealed no significant restenosis in the PTFE stent graft segment. PTFE coronary stent graft implantation is a feasible, safe and useful method to treat a large coronary pseudoaneurysm after coronary intervention.

Upper right: Two-dimensional intravascular ultrasound image of the pseudoaneurysm. Superficial calcification was observed opposite the pseudoaneurysm. Intravascular ultrasound indicates the vessel area was 79.52mm 2, lumen area mm 2, maximum luminal diameter 10.9 mm and minimum luminal diameter 5.7 mm at the pseudoaneurysm. Middle left: Three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound image after stent graft implantation. Middle right : Two-dimensional intravascular ultrasound image of the stent graft. Successful stent graft implantation was performed. Lower: Three-month follow-up intravascular ultrasound images left: three-dimension, right: two-dimension after stent graft implantation. No significant neointimal proliferation is observed in the stent graft. J Cardiol 2003 Dec; 42 6 :
