Giant Coronary Artery Aneurysm Causing Acute Anterior Myocardial Infarction
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. Aneurysm was ligated and coronary bypass was performed using LIMA and saphenous grafts. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful. He was discharged with medical therapy including ASA, clopidogrel, and atorvastatin. He was asymptomatic at his polyclinic visit in the first month.

متن کاملType 1 Giant Coronary Aneurysm
Coronary artery aneurysm is a rare anomaly and is defined as the expansion of the diameters of normal coronary arteries by ≥1.5 times. Aneurysms reaching 4 times the normal size or 8 mm in diameter are defined as giant coronary aneurysms. Giant aneurysms involved in all of the left main coronary artery (LMCA), left anterior descending artery (LAD), and right coronary artery (RCA) are very rare....
متن کاملAn Extraordinary Case of Silent Extensive Anterior Wall Myocardial Infarction Complicated with Giant Left Ventricular Aneurysm and Dressler Syndrome
Early post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) pericarditis, pericardial effusion with or without cardiac tamponade, and late post-MI pericarditis (Dressler syndrome), are the major pericardial complications after AMI. It is quite rare and estimated to be only about 0.1% in AMI patients according to a recent report, so it is easily neglected or misdiagnosed and may have tragic result to patient. ...
