Yavuzer Koza, Zakir Lazoglu, Esma Selva Ates

Abstract :

 Left main coronary artery aneurysm is an extremely uncommon angiographic finding with few cases described in the literature. It is usually asymptomatic but can be presented with acute myocardial infarction and sudden death. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause, although several autoimmune diseases and congenital abnormalities have been associated with the presence of coronary aneurysms. We describe herein a 52 year old man presenting with palpitation and chest pain complaints whose coronary angiography revealed left main coronary artery aneurysm. The clinical picture, workup, and treatment options for such patients are also discussed
