Right coronary artery aneurysm.
Coronary artery aneurysms, characterized by abnormal dilatations of a localized portion of the coronary artery, are an uncommon finding during angiography. We present a case where a giant right coronary aneurysm was detected during angiography, in a patient admitted with a inferior wall myocardial infarction.
متن کاملCoronary magnetic resonance angiography.
Coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a powerful noninvasive technique with high soft-tissue contrast for the visualization of the coronary anatomy without X-ray exposure. Due to the small dimensions and tortuous nature of the coronary arteries, a high spatial resolution and sufficient volumetric coverage have to be obtained. However, this necessitates scanning times that are typical...
متن کاملGiant right coronary artery aneurysm- case report and literature review
Introduction Although the coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are not uncommon, giant aneurysms are rare. Clinical presentation, prognosis and management of giant CAA are not well defined due to limited experience. Recently, there are increasing reports suggesting the occurrence of CAA as a complication of drug eluting stent implantation and angioplasty. Therefore, there is a need to report present...
متن کاملTechnical Considerations of Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm Exclusion
Giant coronary artery aneurysms are rare clinical entities. We report the case of a 49-year-old man who presented with dyspnoea and exertional chest pain. Investigations confirmed an aneurysmal right coronary artery measuring 4 cm with a fistulous communication to the right atrium. Following right atriotomy, the fistula was oversewn and the aneurysmal right coronary artery ligated at its origin...
متن کاملSurgical management of a giant right coronary artery aneurysm.
Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a rare entity, defined as localized dilation that exceeds the normal vessel diameter by a factor of 1.5. A giant CAA is described as a very large dilation, when diameter exceeds 20 mm. CAA has a prevalence of 0.02% [Markis 1976]. Different factors may lead to CAA formation, including Kawasaki disease, atherosclerosis, congenital malformations, autoimmune and in...
