    PPCI involving coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) is challenging because of difficulties in “wiring” the distal part of the lesion, the presence of extensive thrombus burden, and increased risk of distal embolization and no reflow (1). ...CAA is a risk factor for stent thrombosis after stenting for acute coronary syndromes (2). ...PPCI-treated patients with STEMI caused by CAA show unacceptable rates of early stent thrombosis causing recurrent MIs. All event rates are calculated as Kaplan-Meier estimates.BARC = bleeding academic research consortium; CL = culprit lesion; EF = ejection fraction; MI = myocardial infarction; RCA = right coronary artery.
