We experienced a rapidly growing huge coronary pseudoaneurysm with symptomatic restenosis after rotational atherectomy. A BMS had successfully obliterated the huge coronary pseudoaneurysm at 3 months follow‐up on CTA. The OCT at 9 months follow‐up showed that the most of stent strut was covered with neo‐intima. This case suggests that BMS deployment is recommended as a useful method for treating coronary pseudoaneurysms. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
