Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute vasculitis syndrome of unknown etiology. It occurs in infants and young children, affecting mainly small and medium-sized arteries, particularly the coronary arteries. Generalized microvasculitis occurs in the first 10 days, and the inflammation persists in the walls of medium and small arteries, especially the coronary arteries, and changes to coronary artery ...

The left ventricular aneurysm is one of the most significant complications of myocardial infarction and is defined as the expansion of the ventricular wall. The coronary artery aneurysm is characterized by an abnormal dilation of the localized portion of the coronary artery, and its main cause is atherosclerosis. We herein report an unusual case of coronary artery and left ventricular aneurysms...

Coronary artery aneurysms, characterized by abnormal dilatations of a localized portion of the coronary artery, are an uncommon finding during angiography. We present a case where a giant right coronary aneurysm was detected during angiography, in a patient admitted with a inferior wall myocardial infarction.

The prevalence of aortic aneurysms is 3-4% in individuals more than 65 years. Age and haemodynamic factors play an important role in the development of aortic aneurysms. Most patients with aortic aneurysms are asymptomatic at the time of discovery. Thoracic aneurysms are usually found incidentally after chest radiographs or other imaging studies. The most common complications of thoracic aortic...

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.

A 53-year-old male patient with chronic renal failure and biopsy-proven Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) renal involvement presented with complains of chest pain and syncope. An ECG showed lateral ST segment depressions concerning for myocardial ischemia. The patient underwent coronary catheterization, which revealed multifocal aneurysms and severe stenosis. A cardiac computerized tomographic angiogram...
