ABSTRACT
We describe a 34-year-old man who suffered an acute myocardial infarction after carbon monoxide domestic exposure. The coronary angiogram was normal. The necrosis is explained in part by a severe coronary spasm. The purpose of this work was to assess the pathophysiology and the treatment of this rare cause of myocardial infarction
ABSTRACT
Congenital coronary aneurysms are an unusual anatomical entity. Their prognosis appears to be particularly dependent on the presence or absence of aneurysm thrombosis. We report three cases of congenital coronary aneurysms, diagnosed in one case after myocardial infarction. Two patients were treated successfully by an exclusion of the aneurysm and coronary bypass and the third patient was treated medically. The aim of this study is to discuss the clinical features, prognosis and management of this disease
