Giant coronary artery aneurysms involving all three coronary arteries

Giant coronary artery aneurysms involving all three coronary arteries.

Coronary artery aneurysm is defined as any coronary artery dilation exceeding the diameter of normal adjacent segments or the diameter of the largest coronary artery by 1.5 times. Giant coronary aneurysm refers to an aneurysm with a diameter larger than 20 mm. Giant coronary artery aneurysms have an incidence of 0.02%-2%. Here we describe a patient who had giant coronary aneurysms involving all...

Multiple Giant Coronary Artery Aneurysms

A 74-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with chest pain and dyspnea associated with ST elevation in leads II, III and aVF. An echocardiogram showed an enlarged mass lesion measuring nearly 80 mm. Coronary angiography showed two giant coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) in the right coronary artery (RCA). CAAs were also seen in the left main trunk and left anterior descending artery. Compute...

Anomalous arteriovenous connections involving all three major coronary arteries.

A40-year-old man with known asthma for 8 years and hypertension for 1.5 years presented with exertional angina. He appeared cushingoid due to self-use of oral steroids which were initially prescribed for his asthma. An echocardiogram showed a mildly dilated left ventricle with segmental dysfunction and preserved global systolic function. A SPECT TC-99 radionuclide scan with treadmill exercise w...
