Multimodal Imaging of Post-Stenting Mycotic Coronary Pseudoaneurysm Complicated by Device Fracture and Myocardial Abscess

Mycotic coronary aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm are rare infective complications of percutaneous coronary interventions, associated with poor prognosis. Multimodality imaging is recommended to achieve a correct diagnosis. We present a case of post-stenting mycotic coronary pseudoaneurysm complicated by...

Descripción
Sumario:Mycotic coronary aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm are rare infective complications of percutaneous coronary interventions, associated with poor prognosis. Multimodality imaging is recommended to achieve a correct diagnosis. We present a case of post-stenting mycotic coronary pseudoaneurysm complicated by myocardial abscess in which we used different imaging tools, each carrying additional information. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
