Surgical Management of Multiple Coronary Artery Aneurysms: A case report / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Multiple coronary aneurysms are rare in adults. The cause may be atherosclerosis, congenital malformations, post-traumatic or post-syphilitic vascular lesions, connective tissue diseases like Marfan and Ehler-Danlos syndromes or Kawasaki disease, all of which cause weakening of the media. Surgical intervention is indicated to prevent rupture, embolization or compression symptoms. The successful management of multiple coronary artery aneurysms, associated with previous rupture and arrhythmia, originating from proximal potions of ramus intermedius and left circumflex artery are reported.
