Coronary Artery Discrete Aneurysms,Ectasia,and Occlusive Disease and Extensive Arteriomegaly. Correlation,Constellation,or Coincidence? A Case Report

Abstract

The case of a sixty-five-year-old man with discrete coronary aneurysms, associated with coronary artery ectasia, stenoses, and total occlusion of the left anterior descending artery, that resulted in an acute anterior myocardial infarction, is presented. Aortography and digital subtraction angiography revealed marked aortic and iliac elongation, tortu osity, and aneurysmal dilatation as well as dilatated femoral and popliteal arteries with aneurysmal dilatation in places. It is considered that the case reflects the broad spectrum of atherosclerosis manifestations.
