RESUMEN
We present a case of a ruptured mycotic coronary aneurysm effectively treated with covered stents and phased surgery. The covered stent, however, became occluded two years later. Because of the low invasiveness, a covered stent treatment may be advantageous over conventional surgery but trade off long-term vascular patency. Learning objective: To recognize the presence of a ruptured infectious coronary aneurysm after a primary coronary stenting for ST-elevation myocardial infarction.To discuss the treatment strategies for a ruptured infectious coronary aneurysm with a covered stent.
