Abstract

We report the case of a coronary aneurysm observed 6 mo after cutting balloon angioplasty complicated by a mild perforation. Intravascular ultrasound allowed characterization of the malformation as a true aneurysm. The clinical course was uneventful. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Diagn. 44:449–452, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
