Multiple aneurysms in coronary arteries causing chronic stable angina. One-year follow-up

Abstract

Coronary artery aneurysms are not frequent and diagnosis is made by coronary angiography. Many causes have been described as likely to provoke alterations in arterial structure such as atherosclerosis, inflammatory illnesses, congenital disorders and medical interventions. Most common complications are cardiac arrest, rupture of coronary arteries and fistulas into the heart chambers. Their prognosis is uncertain as well as their management, when there are no coronary lesions to revascularize. We show a case with multiple coronary aneurysms and chronic stable angina during one year of follow-up.
