Among systemic infections occurring after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and coronary stent implantation, septic cardiac complications are rare. We report a new case of infective aneurysm of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) following stent implantation. Infec
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the safety and effectiveness of stenting without predilation (direct stenting) in small (< 2.5 mm) coronary arteries. Clinical and angiographic data from the multicenter randomized PREDICT trial was examined. Direct stenting was performed on 42 s
## Abstract Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is usually followed by overnight observation. In order to increase activity from a limited bed base, we planned to discharge a cohort of patients undergoing uncomplicated PCI procedures on the same day. Seventy patients considered suitable for sa
Coronary perforations are usually apparent immediately after the occurrence. We report a case of a 67-year-old woman where coronary perforation presented 16 hours after the procedure. This case illustrates the need for extra vigilance and careful evaluation of distal vasculature while using stiff co
## Abstract Background: Stent fracture is one of the possible causes of restenosis after sirolimusβeluting stents (SES) implantation. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence and clinical impact of coronary stent fracture after SES implantation. Methods: From our prospective institutiona
