✦ Synopsis

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. Infective mitral endocarditis due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa occurring a few weeks after stenting led to search for stent infection. Coronary angiography revealed a saccular aneurysm of the LAD. Despite surgical repair, a fatal outcome resulted.

I read with great interest the case report by Liu et al. [1] pertaining to coronary artery stent infection. In 2000, the article "Coronary Artery Stent Infection" was published, which reviewed the world literature and proposed diagnostic criteria for identifying coronary artery stent infections [2]

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
