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...

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...

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...

Congenital coronary artery fistula (CAF) with huge coronary artery aneurysm is a very rare condition. In this paper, we describe a 26-year-old asymptomatic male patient with right coronary artery (RCA) to the left ventricle fistula with a huge coronary artery aneurysm which was diagnosed by multidetector computed tomography and coronary angiography. The patient received surgical treatment for c...

INTRODUCTION Coronary artery aneurysm is an uncommon disease. It is defined as a coronary artery dilatation, exceeding the diameter of the normal adjacent segment or the diameter of the patient's largest coronary vessel by 1.5 to 2 times. Coronary artery aneurysms are typically diagnosed by coronary angiography. The prognosis of coronary artery aneurysm is not well known and the management is c...

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.

The patient, a 69-year-old woman, had been diagnosed with a heart murmur. A chest X-ray at a local clinic had shown an abnormal shadow. Since CT revealed a 3-cm-diameter mass close to the pulmonary artery, we performed a coronary angiography and diagnosed her as having a coronary artery aneurysm associated with a coronary-pulmonary artery fistula. We incised the aneurysm under cardiac arrest, t...

Non-atherosclerotic isolated coronary artery aneurysm is not common. Two cases of non-atherosclerotic isolated coronary artery aneurysm, with similar presentations but diVerent management strategies were presented. The patients were well four and six years later, respectively. The definition, incidence, causes, presentation, complications, investigations, management, and prognosis of coronary a...

An extremely rare case of a coronary artery fistula with a concomitant saccular aneurysm is presented. A 65-year-old woman, who had a history of chest bruising 5 years earlier, suffered from chest pain, which was diagnosed as being due to left coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistulae concomitant with a giant saccular coronary artery aneurysm. Suture closure of the afferent coronary artery to t...
