A 22-year-old man, occasional user of cocaine and smoker of 22 cigarettes/day, was referred to our center for chest pain. The physical examination and laboratory workup were normal. Electrocardiography showed right bundle branch block with Q-waves in V1, V2, and V3. The chest x-ray (Figure 1) revealed a round calcified image superimposed on the cardiac silhouette. On echocardiography, the left ...

Background—Up to 25% of patients with untreated Kawasaki disease (KD) and 5% of those treated with intravenous immunoglobulin will develop coronary artery aneurysms. Persistent aneurysms may remain silent until later in life when myocardial ischemia can occur. We sought to determine the prevalence of coronary artery aneurysms suggesting a history of KD among young adults undergoing coronary ang...

A 70-year-old man with hypertension was admitted to our coronary ICU with acute anterior MI. Emergent primary PCI was planned and coronary angiography was performed. LAD artery was totally occluded in the proximal segment just after a huge 32 × 26 mm sized aneurysm. Emergent CABG operation was performed in 75 minutes because of multivessel disease including the RCA and left circumflex artery. A...
