A technique of combined minimally invasive coronary artery surgery and abdominal aneurysm repair is described. A mini-sternotomy and off-pump coronary artery bypasses to the left descending branch and right coronary arteries are conducted before abdominal aneurysm repair in a simultaneous operation. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting is considered recently as the most common procedure for the treatment of symptomatic coronary. The article reviewed 41 studies published during 1997-2019 on intracoronary brachytherapy for in-stent restenosis of a drug-eluting stent. Intracoronary radiation therapy was finally confirmed in the setting of in-stent restenosis using as adjunctive th...

We report a case of a 33-year-old Caucasian male who presented with myocardial infarction and a right atrial mass. Coronary catheterization demonstrated a right coronary aneurysm. In this report, we describe magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of a right coronary artery aneurysm with thromboembolism formation, resulting in inferior myocardial infarction.

A 57-year-old man was referred for exertional chest pain and a mediastinal mass. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) revealed a huge aneurysm arising from the left sinus of Valsalva (Figure 1, Video I in the online-only Data Supplement). The opening of aneurysm was 18 mm in its largest diameter. Because the left coronary arteries were stretched and narrowed, the chest pain was considered to ...

A 64-slice computed tomography (CT)—coronary angio-graphy depicted a saccular aneurysm of the left coronary artery located at the bifurcation of the left main into the left anterior descending artery and the left circumflex artery (Fig. 1A). Coronary angiography confirmed the diagnosis (Fig. 1B). The LAD and CX themselves originated directly from the neck of the aneurysm (Fig. 2A and B). Fig. 1...

Mycotic aneurysms of the coronary arteries are extremely rare, with 15 cases reported. We report the successful treatment of a mycotic aneurysm of the left anterior descending coronary artery by coronary artery bypass grafting with aneurysm ligation and resection without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.

The combination of a giant coronary aneurysm with multiple coronary aneurysms in adults is an extremely rare entity--especially in atherosclerotic patients, since it is most commonly associated with Kawasaki disease in children. We report an interesting case of a 59-year-old male patient with multiple atherosclerotic aneurysms of the left coronary system and a giant aneurysm of the right corona...

We report the case of a 66-year-old man with a left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery aneurysm. Cigarette smoking and hepatitis C virus infection were in his clinical history. Coronary angiography performed in 2002 showed a LAD aneurysm, a 50% stenosis of the right coronary artery, and a 30% stenosis of the left main artery (Figure 1, a through c). The ECG in 2002 was normal (Figure 2bi...
