kawasaki disease (kd) is an inflammatory multiorgan disease of unknown etiology. the most dramatic organ involved is the heart. there were a few studies about cardiac involvement and sterile pyuria. this study guides to determine if sterile pyuria is associated with coronary artery aneurysm (caa) in kd patients and to consider it as a predicting factor for coronary artery involvement. forty sev...

Brachiocephalic artery aneurysm with concomitant coronary artery aneurysm is rare. We describe a case of a patient with a history of prosthetic graft placement following resection of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and was subsequently found to have a brachiocephalic artery aneurysm. After surgical correction of the brachiocephalic aneurysm, postoperative coronary arteriography demonstrated corona...

Coronary artery fistulas are a very rare cardiac anomaly. The reported Incidence of coronary artery fistula is 0.10.2% in all patients undergoing coronary angiography [1]. 26% of the patients with coronary artery fistula have associated coronary artery aneurysm. Giant coronary artery aneurysms with diameter exceeding 50 mm are extremely rare. As the aneurysm enlarges, complications related to v...

Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...

Late coronary aneurysm formation was observed following treatment by directional coronary atherectomy. Intravascular ultrasound disclosed that the mechanism involved was plaque rupture. The cause of coronary aneurysm may be multifactorial after coronary interventions. Intravascular ultrasound imaging is useful for understanding the pathologic mechanism of coronary aneurysm production.

introduction: kawasaki disease is a systemic vasculitis that usually involves children younger than 5 years old. etiology is unknown and since there is no labaratory test to diagnose kawasaki disease, the major diagnosis is based on clinical findings .the objective of this study was to determine incidence, complications, time of treatment and clinical manifestations in children with kawasaki di...

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...

PATIENT Male, 74 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) Symptoms: Palpable abdominal mass Medication: - Clinical Procedure: Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair Specialty: Surgery. OBJECTIVE Rare disease. BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease is common in elderly patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. Here we report a case of the combination of surgical repair for abdominal aortic ane...

Abstract Coronary involvement in Kawasaki disease is not uncommon; however, giant coronary aneurysm exceeding 50 mm extremely rare. In this article, we presented a case of involving right artery with associated asymptomatic myocardial ischemia as evident by multimodality imaging.
