Long-term efficacy of drug-coated balloon only angioplasty for IgG4-related coronary artery disease: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although coronary artery involvement in patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is rare, emergency revascularization is recommended for managing acute coronary syndrome. However, coronary aneurysm formation and stent migration after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation have been reported for this disease. Thus, new treatment modalities are warranted for the management of coronary artery disease in this vasculitis.

Case summary

A 70-year-old male who experienced progressive chest discomfort for 1 month underwent cardiac examination.
