Giant Aneurysm of the Right Coronary Artery: Multimodality Imaging and Interventional Management.

Project description:A large (40-mm) circular structure in the right atrioventricular groove was detected by transthoracic echocardiography and was diagnosed as a giant aneurysm of the right coronary artery. Through invasive mapping by a guide extension catheter, the aneurysm could be excluded by implantation of 3 overlapping stent grafts. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Giant coronary artery aneurysm at autopsy.

Project description:This case presents a woman in her early 20s who died after the sudden onset of chest pain. Five years earlier, she was investigated for a cardiac murmur during pregnancy and an echocardiogram revealed a 6.0×3.0?cm blood-filled sac compressing the left atrium and anterolateral aspect of the left ventricle with communication to the aortic root. She later had a CT scan of the chest with contrast, which showed aneurysmal dilatation of the left main coronary artery. She was placed on aspirin but defaulted from clinic 11 months post partum. At autopsy, a left coronary aneurysmal sac measuring 10.0×9.0?cm. was identified with a rupture measuring 7.0?cm in length and the pericardial sac contained 900?mL of blood with clots. The cause of death was cardiac tamponade secondary to rupture of the coronary artery aneurysm.

Coil embolization to giant left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery coronary artery aneurysm after failed coronary aneurysmal repair in IgG4-related disease: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundIgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a chronic fibroinflammatory condition with multiple-organ involvement. Rupture of coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) in IgG4-RD is rare.Case summaryA 65-year-old man with IgG4-RD has suffered from recurrent episodes of arterial aneurysms since 2003. He presented with chest pain and hypotension caused by localized cardiac tamponade at right ventricle free wall due to the rupture of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) of left anterior descending artery (LAD). An urgent LAD aneurysm repaired with bovine pericardium and obliterated aneurysmal sac with cryo-acrylate glue was done together with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using saphenous vein graft (SVG) to LAD and SVG to posterior descending artery. Three-month after surgery, the follow-up coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) revealed a growing in size of LAD and the second obtuse marginal (OM) branch aneurysm. Heart team discussion agreed to schedule the patient for double coil embolization to LAD and second OM aneurysm under intravascular ultrasound guidance. Both aneurysms were successfully obliterated with vascular coils. Two-week follow-up coronary angiogram showed complete occlusion of LAD aneurysm and near occlusion of the second OM branch aneurysm.DiscussionCoronary artery aneurysm rupture is a life-threatening condition that required prompt detection and treatments. In IgG4-RD patients, acute cardiac tamponade suggesting the rupture of CAA. Coil embolization is an alternative treatment in patients who suffered from recurrent CAA after surgical repair. Serial CCTA is important for early detection of aneurysm in IgG4-RD patients who had vascular involvement.

Delineating anatomy and function with multimodality imaging: a case report of giant right coronary artery aneurysms.

Project description:Background:Giant coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are rare and have been reported in patients with connective tissue diseases, arteritides, and atherosclerosis. Given the rarity of the condition, multimodality imaging is essential for comprehensive evaluation of coronary aneurysms and determination of their haemodynamic significance. Case summary:A 58-year-old Filipino female was evaluated for dyspnoea on exertion of one month. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed right coronary artery (RCA) aneurysms. Invasive coronary angiogram (ICA) confirmed two giant aneurysms of the RCA. Distal RCA could not be opacified due to contrast stagnation in the proximal aneurysms. Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) depicted an additional giant distal RCA aneurysm not visualized on ICA with intraluminal thrombosis. Contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) revealed delayed time to peak perfusion in the mid to apical inferior walls, on first-pass imaging, without myocardial scarring. Late gadolinium images revealed aneurysmal wall inflammation. Discussion:This case highlights the anatomical findings of giant CAA and the application of multimodality imaging for their accurate characterization. While ICA confirmed the presence of the aneurysms, CCTA enabled the assessment of their full extent and depict intraluminal thrombosis. Contrast-enhanced CMR delineated aneurysm wall characteristics, with first-pass images demonstrating reduced inferior wall perfusion at rest, which was likely the cause of patient's exertional symptoms. Management of giant coronary aneurysms involves surgical resection with bypass grafting.

Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm Detected by Transthoracic Echocardiography.

Project description:Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are rare findings caused by atherosclerosis in about 50% of cases. They are usually diagnosed using coronary angiography, cardiac computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. In this report, we present a rare case of giant, isolated right CAA, detected by transthoracic echocardiography in an adult patient with unstable angina. Diameters of the aneurysm were 3.6 cm × 2.7 cm. Anterior-septal hypokinesia of the left ventricle was also noted. A comprehensive echocardiographic examination, including contrast study, excluded alternative diagnoses and supported the hypothesis of a coronary ectasia. The coronary angiography confirmed the diagnosis of giant coronary aneurysm and revealed a severe three-vessel disease. The patient was treated with cardiac surgery a few days later: two coronary artery bypass grafts and exclusion of the aneurysm by surgical legation were successfully performed.

A Giant Left Circumflex Artery Aneurysm with Thrombosis Formation Presenting as a Left Atrioventricular Groove Mass.

Project description:A coronary artery aneurysm is defined as the dilation of a coronary artery segment that is 1.5-fold the diameter of the neighboring normal segments. A patient with a history of aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass graft surgery, transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large mass with an echolucent center in the left atrioventricular groove. Transesophageal echocardiography showed that the left atrial appendage was free of thrombosis, and there was a mass with an echolucent center beneath the left atrial appendage, suggestive of aneurysmal dilation in the left circumflex artery with thrombosis formation Coronary artery computed tomography angiography confirmed this finding. In patients with or without a history of coronary aneurysms, the presence of a mass in the atrioventricular groove on echocardiography should alert clinicians about the presence of a coronary artery aneurysm with thrombosis formation as a probable etiology.

A giant coronary artery aneurysm with coronary arteriovenous fistula in asymptomatic elderly patient.

Project description:Coronary Arteriovenous Fistula (CAF) is a rare defect that occurs in 0.1-0.2% of patients undergoing coronary angiography; Coronary Artery Aneurism (CAA) also occurs in approximately 15-19% of patients with CAF. It is usually congenital, but in rare occasions it occurs after chest trauma, cardiac surgery, or coronary interventions. The case described is that of a 72-year-old woman, without previous history of cardiovascular disease, who presented a huge cardiac mass. A multimodal approach was necessary to diagnose a giant CAA with CAF responsible for compression and displacement of cardiac structures. Due to likely congenitally origin of the lesion and the absence of symptoms correlated to the CAA and to the CAF we decided to avoid invasive interventions and to treat the patient with medical therapy.
