We present the case of a 65-year-old male who presented with stable angina and dyspnea on exertion. His initial workup yielded a positive treadmill stress test for reversible apical ischemia, and transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated impaired systolic function. Cardiac catheterization was then performed, revealing severe atherosclerotic disease including multiple coronary artery aneurysms. As a result, the patient was advised to and subsequently underwent a coronary artery bypass graft. This case highlights the presence of multiple coronary artery aneurysms and the ability to appreciate these pathologic findings on multiple imaging modalities, including coronary angiogram, transesophageal echocardiography, and direct visualization through the surgical field.
我们报告了一例65岁男性患者,其表现为稳定型心绞痛和劳力性呼吸困难。他最初的检查显示平板运动试验对可逆性心尖部缺血呈阳性,经胸超声心动图显示收缩功能受损。随后进行了心导管检查,发现严重的动脉粥样硬化疾病,包括多个冠状动脉瘤。因此,建议该患者并随后接受了冠状动脉旁路移植术。本病例突出了多个冠状动脉瘤的存在,以及在多种成像方式上识别这些病理发现的能力,包括冠状动脉造影、经食管超声心动图以及通过手术视野的直接观察。
