| Abstract |
A 79-year-old male with diabetes mellitus and old cerebral infarction was admitted to hospital due to fever and palpitation. Diagnosis of purulent pericarditis was established by pericardial effusion examination. The patient's general condition improved temporarily after drainage of the pericardial effusion. However, computed tomography demonstrated a saccular aneurysm arising from RCA have rapidly grown even larger, up to 63 × 51 mm on 7th hospital day. This indicated that the risk of rupture of the aneurysm was high. Percutaneous coronary intervention was applied to prevent rupture of the aneurysm. Several polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stents were required to cover the extended aneurysm lesion. A long drug-eluting stent (DES), which was initially implanted through the aneurysm, was itself implanted with 3 PTFE-covered stents located inside the DES. This procedure provided protection against endoleak of the aneurysm. To our knowledge, the present case shows for the first time that PTFE-covered stents located within DES are useful in treatment of a giant coronary aneurysm. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 February 2018.
All research outputs
#22,767,715
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging
#1,460
of 2,012 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#386,984
of 445,948 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging
#27
of 36 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,012 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 445,948 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 36 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
