case_images: Coronary angiography showing aneurysm formation in LAD and LCx. Figure 1A. CAG from October 2010 showed no sign of aneurysm formation in relation to Cypher stents in proximal LAD and LCx.. Figure 1B. CAG from 2013 revealed aneurysm formation in relation to Cypher stents in proximal LCx and LAD.. Figure 1C. CAG from 2017 shows the progression of both aneurysms in LCx and LAD,. Figure 1D. CAG from 2021 shows further progression of both aneurysms, especially the aneurism in LCx,. CAG: coronary angiography; LAD: left anterior descending artery; LCx: left circumflex artery

case_images: FIG1
case_images: A follow-up CAG in October 2010 showed well-deployed Cypher stents in proximal LAD and mid-LCx, with no residual stenosis (Figure 1A). The CAG revealed aneurysm formation at the site of the Cypher stents in LAD and LCx (Figure 1B). In addition, the CAG revealed severe aneurysms about the Cypher stents in both LAD and LCx (Figure 1C). LAD was successfully treated with plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA). LAD was unsuitable for stent implantation due to the extensive aneurysm formation (Figure 1D).
