Surgical treatment of coronary artery aneurysm with calcification and
stenosis:a Case Report and Review of the Literature
Abstract
Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) has been increasingly reported in recent
years. The symptoms are related to myocardial ischemia, such as angina
pectoris, myocardial infarction, sudden death and congestive heart
failure. This report describes a case of a giant CAA with calcification
and stenosis involving two coronary arteries, and the patient underwent
a complete arterialized coronary artery bypass graft successfully. In
this report, all cases related to CAA with calcification and stenosis
are summarized. According to the data, the following conclusions can be
drawn: CAA seem to be more common in men; Kawasaki disease is likely to
be a causative factor in some patients with asymptomatic CAA involving
calcification and stenosis; CABG is a feasible treatment option for CAA
with calcification and stenosis.
