ABSTRACT
As the implantation of drug eluting stents (DES) has become one of the most common clinical practices in interventional cardiology, the complications secondary to this procedure appear to have emerged increasingly over the past decade, with many cases of development of new coronary artery true aneurysms after DES implantation being reported. Here we present a case of coil embolization of a coronary pseudoaneurysm which presumably formed after extravascular migration of a DES.

Considerable information is available regarding the experimental and clinical applications of bone marrow derived stem cells (BMDSC) for regenerative medicine. Optimized stem cell delivery systems might help to maintain better stem cell viability. We have investigated whether needle diameters and flow rates through the needles cause any difference in terms of BMDSC viability.
