[Coronary pseudoaneurysm after percutaneous treatment of a coronary perforation].

Abstract

Coronary pseudoaneurysms are rare and usually occur after percutaneous procedures, spontaneous dissections, aortocoronary bypass, or chest trauma. Although most of the cases are casual, other patients present as acute myocardial infarction, fistula formation or cardiac tamponade. We report the case of a coronary pseudoaneurysm after percutaneous treatment of a coronary perforation.
