Spontaneous resolution of pseudoaneurysm after zotarolimus-eluting stent implantation: imaging evidence at 13 months of follow-up.
Coronary pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention with a drug-eluting stent. Neither precise incidence of the complication has been known, nor there has been any established therapeutic approach for it. A 69-years-old male with effort angina underwent percutaneous coronary intervention to his left main coronary artery (LMCA). After pre-dilatation with a balloon, Endeavor zotarolimus-eluting stent (E-ZES) was successfully implanted into the lesion that extended from his LMCA to left anterior descending artery. At 6 months after stenting, coronary angiography (CAG) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) revealed coronary pseudoaneurysm at the stented segment. Follow-up CAG at 13 months after stenting showed the spontaneous and complete resolution of the pseudoaneurysm. Subsequent IVUS, optical coherence tomography, and coronary angioscopy visualized complete neointimal coverage of stent struts. This is the first case report of E-ZES-related pseudoaneurysm with relatively rapid resolution. Our patient suggests that E-ZES might incidentally contribute to this favorable outcome.

Optical coherence tomographic and angioscopic assessments of arterial healing in coronary artery perforation after implantation of zotarolimus-eluting stent.
We report the case of a 69-year-old male whose left circumflex coronary artery was perforated immediately after implantation of an Endeavor zotarolimus-eluting stent (E-ZES). Despite successful hemostasis by long balloon inflation, a coronary pseudoaneurysm remained at the E-ZES-implanted segment. Coronary angiography performed one year after the coronary perforation showed the pseudoaneurysm had disappeared. Simultaneous optical coherence tomography and coronary angioscopy revealed that stent struts of the E-ZES were fully covered with thick neointima. This is the first case report of a relatively rapid healing process for an E-ZES-related coronary pseudoaneurysm.
