Coronary aneurysm is a rare complication after coronary excimer laser angioplasty. A 45-year-old woman underwent laser angioplasty and bare metal direct stenting of the proximal segment of the left anterior descending artery (LAD); after 3 months, angiographic follow-up showed significant ostial stenosis of the LAD with a large sacciform aneurysm and diffuse intrastent restenosis.

D016342 Angioplasty, Laser A technique utilizing a laser coupled to a catheter which is used in the dilatation of occluded blood vessels. This includes laser thermal angioplasty where the laser energy heats up a metal tip, and direct laser angioplasty where the laser energy directly ablates the occlusion. One form of the latter approach uses an EXCIMER LASER which creates microscopically precise cuts without thermal injury. When laser angioplasty is performed in combination with balloon angioplasty it is called laser-assisted balloon angioplasty (ANGIOPLASTY, BALLOON, LASER-ASSISTED).
