We report a case with a large aneurysm of right coronary artery (RCA) associated with coronary artery disease. The aneurysm was sealed with two PTFE‐covered stents using a sequential technique from proximal to distal to overcome the lack of long PTFE‐covered stents and existence of complex coronary anatomy. A bare metal stent was subsequently deployed to treat a lesion in the mid part of RCA. At 4‐month follow‐up, aneurysm was completely sealed and no restenosis occurred. Usage of sequential PTFE‐covered stents enables treatment of large coronary artery aneurysms. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
