Coronary aneurysms are defined as a localized dilatation that exceeds 1.5 times the diameter of the adjacent segment of artery. Aneurysms can be saccular (transverse larger than the longitudinal axis) or fusiform (longitudinal at least twice...

The most useful attribute of stents is their ability to scaffold the artery, thereby repairing dissections and preventing arterial recoil, with beneficial effects upon the incidence of acute closure1 and restenosis.2 “Coil” stents are less...
