Stent loss and failure of retrieval are rare; nevertheless, complications have to be taken into account during percutaneous coronary intervention. Here we report a case of an unexpanded, irretrievable Palmaz-Schatz stent in the proximal right coronary artery near to the ostium and the successful man

This case report describes a patient who developed an aneurysmatic dilation of a coronary artery 6 months after successful primary stent implantation. The dilation occurred within the stented segment of the artery. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the development of an aneurysm, in the absence of angiographically visible dissection or other possible causative factors.

This case report describes the intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) evaluation of a coronary artery aneurysm, developed in a stented segment within 6 mo after bailout stenting. Analysis of the IVUS images provides in vivo insights in the vessel-remodeling process after mechanical injury. The proximal ent
