Key Points

  • To explore the atypical presentations and risks associated with mycotic coronary artery aneurysms, particularly in relation to PCI.
  • Examined cases of mycotic coronary artery aneurysm during PCI procedures.
  • Assessed the incidence of bacteremia and its complications.
  • Analyzed the detection and treatment strategies for optimal outcomes.
  • Identified occurrences of mycotic coronary artery aneurysm following PCI.
  • Demonstrated the need for vigilant monitoring to detect these aneurysms early.
  • Emphasized effective treatment approaches to minimize complications.

Abstract

Although PCI is routine, there is a risk of bacteremia and associated complications such as MCAA. Close attention, early detection, and treatment are important for optimal results.
