Sumario: | Infected pseudo coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is extremely rare, and currently, there is no established treatment. We experienced a rare case of an infected pseudo CAA brought on due to a stent fracture. Following prolonged successful antimicrobial administration, which proved effective in successfully treating the patient, we performed coronary stent graft placement. Although a surgical procedure should fundamentally be the first course of action considered in such cases, when there are concerns as to the degree of invasiveness, our strategy represents a viable option. |
