Multiple Giant Coronary Arterial Aneurysms Leading to Stable Angina
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is defined as abnormal dilatation of a coronary artery luminal diameter to 1.5 to 2 times wider than the adjacent normal segment. Giant coronary artery aneurysms are rare, with a reported prevalence of 0.02% to 0.2% [1]. Most of the giant coronary artery aneurysms are asymptomatic, but some patients present with angina pectoris, sudden death, fistula formation, pericardial tamponade, compression of surrounding structures, or congestive heart failure.
