Introduction:
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) with stent placement is a
well-established treatment for coronary artery stenosis. Although
infectious complications are rare, it may appear at any time and be a
life-threatening condition. Early recognition and institution of
appropriate medical and surgical therapy is vital for patient survival.
We report a case of a right coronary artery stent infection seven years
after implantation. The patient also had coronary rupture with an
infected false aneurysm, and a fistula to the right atrium.
