Case series of coronary artery aneurysms after Everolimus eluting stent implantation and comparison with Sirolimus eluting stents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery aneurysms after drug eluting stents are rare. We present a case series of type II coronary aneurysms after implantation of Everolimus eluting stents including patients developing giant aneurysms with a toxic course.

Case presentation

Over a span of 3.5 years at our center 2572 patients were implanted Everolimus eluting stents out of which 4 patients developed coronary type II aneurysms an incidence of 0.00156 whereas 5838 patients were implanted Sirolimus eluting 2nd generation stents out of which 2 patients developed similar aneurysms with an incidence of 0.00034. The slight increase in incidence in Everolimus stents does not reach statistical significance (p = 0.054) and is limited by single centre non randomized study. We also propose a hypothes
