Video 1. Baseline coronary angiography of the left coronary artery (left anterior oblique: 45°; caudal: 30°) showing the aneurysm of the left anterior descending artery directly prior to percutaneous coronary intervention.

Video 2. Coronary angiography of the left coronary artery directly after percutaneous coronary intervention of left anterior descending artery (right anterior oblique: 30°; cranial: 10°) showing the visible stents covering the inlet to aneurysm and the residual inflow of contrast to the aneurysmatic sac.

Video 3. Coronary angiography at 3 months (AP; caudal: 30°) showing complete coverage of the aneurysm with endothelialized stent struts and the lack of residual inflow of contrast to the aneurysmatic sac.

Video 4. Coronary angiography at 3 months (left anterior oblique: 45°; caudal: 30°) showing an optimal angiographic result with complete coverage of the aneurysm.
