Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) formation in the setting of an acute inflammatory state due to connective tissue disease is rare. We report a case of rapid progression from an ectatic to an aneursymatic left circumflex coronary artery leading to an acute coronary event in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We report the accelerated growth of the aneurysm as it was temporally related to the lapse in treatment and the management strategies involved with this entity.
由于结缔组织疾病导致的急性炎症状态下形成的冠状动脉瘤(CAA)较为罕见。我们报告了一例类风湿关节炎(RA)患者的左回旋支冠状动脉从扩张到瘤样扩张,迅速进展为急性冠状动脉事件的病例。我们报告了随着治疗的中断,该动脉瘤加速生长的情况,以及该实体所涉及的管理策略。
