ANEURYSM VERSUS ECTASIA
CORONARY ANEURYSM CORONARY
ECTASIA
Focal dilation of at
least1.5 times the
adjacent normal segment
Diffuse dilation of at
least1.5 times the
adjacent normal segment
TYPES- MORPHOLOGY
TYPES- VESSEL WALL COMPOSITION
True aneurysm: preserved vessel wall integrity
with 3 layers(intima, media, and adventitia)
Pseudoaneurysm: loss of vessel wall integrity and
damage to the adventitia
TYPES- ECTASIA
Type I: diffuse ectasia of 2 or 3 vessels
Type II: diffuse disease in 1 vessel and localized
disease in another vessel
Type III: diffuse ectasia in 1 vessel
Type IV: localized or segmental ectasia

RISK FACTORS
1. Genetic susceptibility.
2. Atherosclerosis (Proteolysis of ECM)
3. Vasculitis (Kawasaki, Takayasu)
4. Connective tissue diseases
RISK FACTORS
5. Intracoronary manipulation ( CAG, PCI,
BRACHYTHERAPY)
6. DES due to the impaired intimal healing effects of the
antiproliferative agents.
6.Post-infectious CAAs. ( Direct or Immune)
CLINICAL PRESENTATION
1. Mostly asymptomatic detected incidentally on
CAG/CT
CLINICAL PRESENTATION
Clinical symptoms can develop due to -
1) Concomitant atherosclerosis
2) Local thrombosis
3) Massive enlargement of some CAAs can result in
compression of adjacent structures
4) Aneurysm rupture Tamponade
5) Stress-induced myocardial ischemia due to
microvascular dysfunction
Coronary aneurysm: At a glance and Management.pptx
Delayed antegrade contrast
filling, segmental back flow, and
contrast stasis in the dilated
coronary segment often hamper
optimal imaging in CAG
A forceful and prolonged
injection avoid misinterpreting
slow aneurysmal filling as in situ
thrombosis, especially in giant
aneurysms
 (IVUS) Better delineation of vessel wall.
Distinguish between true & pseudoaneurysm, and
segments with aneurysmal appearance due to plaque
rupture or adjacent stenosis.
IVUS can also accurately size the CAA and/or any
adjacent stenoses and allows proper stent sizing if PCI is
planned.
 Caution should be exercised when IVUS assessment is
performed post-stenting to avoid dislodgment of the stent.
 OCT  Small scan diameter of Infrared radiation-
CT is particularly helpful in patients with giant CAA,
Avoids the pitfalls of luminal angiography and provides a
precise assessment of mechanical complications of these
aneurysms
PITFALLS OF MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
 The natural history is largely unknown. Hence, the
optimal treatment of incidentally found CAA or
coronary ectasia- uncertain.
 With angina or acute MI- PCI/Surgery -
Challenging
 Lack of randomized trials or large-scale data.
MEDICAL MANGEMENT
 No Clear guidelines supporting dual antiplatelets/
anticoagulation for CAA/CAE without CAD.

PERCUTANEOUS INTERVENTIONS
 PCI of an aneurysmal/ectatic culprit vessel in the
setting of acute MI is associated with lower
procedural success and a higher incidence of no-
reflow and distal embolization
PERCUTANEOUS INTERVENTIONS
 PCI of an aneurysmal/ectatic culprit vessel in the
setting of acute MI is associated with lower
procedural success and a higher incidence of no-
reflow and distal embolization.
 Post PCI higher mortality, higher stent
thrombosis, target vessel revascularization, and
MI during intermediate-term follow-up
Coronary aneurysm: At a glance and Management.pptx
RECOMMENDED MANAGEMENT
 Due to the higher associated thrombus burden,
PCI in ectatic and aneurysmal arteries is
frequently aided with thrombectomy (aspiration or
mechanical), and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors
stumped ostial LAD
Initial angiogram following proximal LAD stenting
Initial angiogram showing proximal RCA fusiform aneurysm
Follow-up angiogram 4 years later showing patent proximal LAD stent but
worsening mid-LAD and circumflex stenoses (arrow) and enlarging proximal
RCA fusiform aneurysm
Severe stenosis in the distal RCA. Note the deep-seated Amplatz guiding catheter in the
proximal RCA. Guide-induced proximal RCA dissection noted after stenting the distal
RCA. Successful treatment of the dissection with drug-eluting stents.
Angiogram 8 years later showing an occluded mid RCA and a possible
pseudoaneurysm of the proximal RCA (site of prior stenting). Successful treatment
of the RCA STEMI with drug-eluting stents.Successful exclusion of the coronary
pseudoaneurysm with a GRAFTMASTER covered stent

PTCA CHALLENGES
 No covered stents that are specifically designed for CAAs.
 For diameters between 2.75 and 5 mm, the
GRAFTMASTER coronary stent graft MC used.

 High failure rate dute to high thrombus burden.

its efficacy in patients with CAA

and stent migration.
 Partially thrombosed CAA underestimation of the true

 In long aneurysmal segments, several overlapping stents
are often needed to cover the full length of the aneurysm
PTCA CHALLENGES
 Covered stents are stiff and are delivered via large
coronary guiding catheters More Complications.
PTCA CHALLENGES
 Cases where covered stent not possible, the stent-
assisted coil embolization technique, can be used.
 With this technique, a microcatheter is usually placed in
the aneurysm before stenting.
PTCA CHALLENGES
 Cases where covered stent not possible, the stent-
assisted coil embolization technique, can be used.
 With this technique, a microcatheter is usually placed in
the aneurysm before stenting.
 A regular coronary stent is then deployed in the
aneurysmal segment at low pressure, and coils can then
be passed through the microcatheter to wrap around the
stent.
 Post-dilation of stent is then performed. Additional coils can
be advanced via the stent struts if needed

KAWASAKI GUIDELINES
 Current American Heart Association guidelines recommend
restricting PCI in Kawasaki patients to those with a single-
vessel or focal multivessel disease
SURGERY
 The ideal surgical approach has not yet been formally
studied.
 Operative therapy for CAA may include aneurysm ligation,
resection, or marsupialization with interposition graft.
 The most common surgical practice is, however, to open
the CAA, suture its afferent and efferent vessels, and finish
with bypass grafting if necessary

MANAGEMENT of POST THROMBOLYSIS BLEED
Immediately stop ongoing infusion of thrombolytic drug, and
stop all antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies.
Investigate according to site of haemorrhage (e.g. CT brain,
CT abdo/pelvis)
Obtain blood tests: FBC, coagulation profile; repeat q2h until
bleeding controlled
obtain cross match
MANAGEMENT of POST THROMBOLYSIS BLEED
Reverse fibrinolysis:
 FFP 2 units q6h for 24h
 cryoprecipitate 10 units
 tranexamic acid 1g IV
 ? role of prothrombinex and Factor 7
Reverse anti-platelet effects:
 platelets 1 adult bag
 DDAVP 0.3 microg/kg
MANAGEMENT of POST THROMBOLYSIS BLEED
Reverse anti-coagulant effects:
 protamine 1 mg for every 100 U of unfractionated heparin
given in the preceding 4 hours
 protamine 1 mg for every 1 mg of enoxaparin (or 100 units
of dalteparin) given in the preceding 8 hours
