Cardiac Aneurysm following Myocardial Infarction and Coronary Thrombosis (with Autopsy Findings)

Congenital coronary aneurysm resulting in myocardial infarction: MR imaging findings.

We report a case of a 33-year-old Caucasian male who presented with myocardial infarction and a right atrial mass. Coronary catheterization demonstrated a right coronary aneurysm. In this report, we describe magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of a right coronary artery aneurysm with thromboembolism formation, resulting in inferior myocardial infarction.

Cardiac aneurysm after myocardial infarction.

Ten cases of post-infarction cardiac aneurysm have been described in detail. Many of the patients had survived for several years after the infarction which was held to be responsible for the formation of the aneurysm. It is suggested that in most cases the diagnosis can be made on the basis of a PA chest radiograph combined with careful cardiac fluoroscopy. If surgery is contemplated because of...

Correlation of vectorcardiographic criteria for myocardial infarction with autopsy findings.

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery after acute myocardial infarction caused by thrombosis of coronary aneurysm.

The morphology of coronary aneurysm sets a predisposing factor to thrombus formation. However, the blood stasis caused by the change in flow may not be enough to cause thromboembolic events.

Coronary aneurysm complicated by acute myocardial infarction.

The case of a 55 years old, hypertensive, obese female is presented, who came to the emergency department with inferoposterior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with right ventricular infarction. After thrombolytic therapy, she reperfused but had anginal symptoms on minimal activity. The patient underwent coronary angiogram which showed aneurysmal right coronary artery (RCA) wi...
