Coronary Artery Aneurysms: An Update
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a neglected topic in the pathology literature; most descriptions of CAAs have been limited to reports of single cases and some reviews. Because CAAs are usually found incidentally during cardiac examinations, most of the reported cases have been diagnosed by coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound and, on rare occasions, during autopsy (Ramos et al., 2008). Although they are rare, CAAs can be potentially fatal if they are not managed in a judicious and timely manner.
