Elective Palmaz-Schatz intracoronary stent implantation does not increase the risk for coronary artery aneurysm formation. Angiographic restenosis and clinical outcome are not affected by the development of a coronary artery aneurysm after percutaneous transluminal coronary artery or stent placement.
