A 69-year-old man with a history of ischaemic heart disease and previous stent implantation in the right coronary artery (RCA) was found to have a large well-encapsulated mass attached to the right atrium on a routine transthoracic echocardiogram. Subsequent investigations including transoesophageal echocardiography and CT coronary angiogram suggested an RCA aneurysm formation in relation to the prior stented segment, further confirming on coronary angiogram a large ectatic vessel with a giant aneurysm measuring 2.4×2.7 cm. Giant coronary artery aneurysms are rare and here we present interesting images of a case initially picked up on transthoracic echocardiography.
一名69岁男性,有缺血性心脏病史,既往右冠状动脉(RCA)植入过支架,在常规经胸超声心动图检查中发现右心房附着有一个大的、包膜完整的肿块。随后的检查,包括经食管超声心动图和CT冠状动脉造影,提示与先前支架置入节段相关的RCA动脉瘤形成,冠状动脉造影进一步证实有一个大的扩张血管,伴有一个大小为2.4×2.7 cm的巨大动脉瘤。巨大冠状动脉瘤很罕见,在此我们展示了一例最初经胸超声心动图发现的病例的有趣图像。
