Contained rupture following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty: Long‐term outcome

Coronary artery aneurysm formation can occur as a complication of balloon angioplasty. We present a case of a contained rupture of the left circumflex artery following angioplasty which resulted in an unusual pseudoaneurysm on angiography at 3‐year follow‐up. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
