Coronary stenting has begun to play an increasingly important role in the management of coronary artery aneurysms. A case of successful and complete sealing of a coronary aneurysm by using a new stent graft is described. Further studies in a large patient population are required to confirm the safety and efficacy of this method. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 48:96–99, 1999. © 1999 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
