In this study we investigated the relation ...

Coronary artery aneurysms are commonly of atherosclerotic origin and are frequently asymptomatic. However, they may have varied presentations including angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden death. A case of a giant right coronary artery aneurysm presenting with acute myocardial infarction is presented, where the aneurysm appeared to be a mediastinal mass on transthoracic and transoesophagea...

Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) formation in the setting of an acute inflammatory state due to connective tissue disease is rare. We report a case of rapid progression from an ectatic to an aneursymatic left circumflex coronary artery leading to an acute coronary event in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We report the accelerated growth of the aneurysm as it was temporally related to th...

We report a case of a 22-year-old man with Kawasaki disease presenting with features of cardiac tamponade following rupture of giant aneurysm of his right coronary artery. He underwent an emergency operation. Aneurysmal sac was of size 4x4 cm. The entry point of the aneurysm was sutured. Right coronary artery was grafted with left radial artery. He had an uneventful recovery in the postoperativ...

The case of a 22-year old male patient who presented with a congenital coronary arterial fistula from the right coronary artery to the right ventricle is described. The arterial fistula had led to an aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva and the proximal right coronary artery. The aneurysm was incised from the aorta and the fistula closed with a pericardial patch. The diameter of the aneurysm...

A 42 years, hypertensive lady presented with chest pain of 2 hours duration. On examination, her vital parameters were settled and there was no gross cardiovascular abnormality. Electrocardiogram showed acute anterior myocardial infarction. Troponin I was positive for myocardial necrosis. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed hypokinetic left ventricular apex and apical half of interventricular...

Aim: This article aims to investigate the degree and frequency of atherosclerosis using “Coronary Artery Disease Reporting Data System” (CAD-RADS) classification in patients who underwent coronary Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) Angiography with a preliminary diagnosis artery disease were found have aneurysm (CAA) also discuss predisposing factors, prevalence, diagnostic criteria compl...

The coincidence of 3 different rare coronary artery anomalies is extremely rare, and has not been reported so far.We report multiple imaging findings of a giant coronary artery aneurysm, which has a fistulous connection to the right ventricle associated with anomalous origin of the anterior descending coronary artery from the right coronary artery in a 67-year-old woman who suffered with a 20-y...
