چکیده

A 74-year-old man with a history of high blood pressure, smoking, and cerebrovascular accident 6 months ago was admitted to our center for chest pain radiating to back. The blood pressure was 140/95 mmHg and pulse was 88/minute. Physical examination revealed an apical systolic murmur. Laboratory tests including evidence of Behcet disease, connective tissue disease, or autoimmune form of vasculitis were normal. Electrocardiography showed left ventricular hypertrophy findings. Chest X-ray revealed an increased cardiothoracic ratio with no pulmonary congestion. Echocardiography showed increased left ventricular diastolic and systolic dimensions (72mm/ 64mm) with low left ventricular ejection fraction (37%), increased septal and posterior wall thicknesses (14mm/12mm), left atrial dimension (53 mm) and second degree mitral regurgitation. The patient underwent coronary angiography and bilateral carotid angiography due to history of cerebrovascular accident and aortography due to possibility of aortic dissection. The coronary angiography demonstrated multiple coronary aneurysms involving left main coronary, left anterior descending and left circumflex arteries, and occlusive disease of the both left and right coronary arteries (Fig. 1). Carotid angiography demonstrated the right common carotid artery aneurysm (Fig. 2) and left common carotid artery aneurysm (Fig. 3). Aortography demonstrated left common iliac artery aneurysm (Fig. 4). A successful percutaneous coronary intervention with coronary angi-

During routine dissection, we found variations in the branches of Internal Iliac Artery (IIA) of a 65-year-old Iranian female cadaver. The IIA ended by dividing to an unusual smaller anterior and a greater posterior trunk which was branched to the inferior gluteal arteries. Both pelvis and the u...

Soft-tissue images. Bilateral large iliac artery aneurysms.

A man who had a history of coronary artery bypass grafting, insertion of a pacemaker, unstable angina and an ejection fraction of 0.26 was found to have a pulsatile mass on routine rectal examination. Iliac artery aneurysm was suspected. Preoperatively, a 3-dimensional reconstructed image (Fig. 1A) showed an aneurysm of the left common iliac artery, 7-cm in largest diameter, and another aneurys...
