It is well known that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can affect the vascular endothelium; however, coronary artery aneurysm complicated by COVID-19 in adults has not yet been reported. Herein, we report a case of a newly developed right coronary artery aneurysm in an adult with recent COVID-19 infection. A 66-year-old man was referred for surgical intervention of the right coronary artery aneurysm. His previous coronary angiograms performed 17 months prior revealed no evidence of coronary aneurysm. However, he was confirmed as having COVID-19 four months prior and thereafter newly diagnosed with right coronary artery aneurysm. The further evaluation of the impact of COVID-19 on the occurrence of coronary artery aneurysm may be necessary, considering the alleged correlation between COVID-19 and vascular complications.
众所周知，2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）可影响血管内皮；然而，成人COVID-19并发冠状动脉瘤尚未见报道。在此，我们报告一例近期感染COVID-19的成人新发右冠状动脉瘤病例。一名66岁男性因右冠状动脉瘤接受手术干预。17个月前他之前的冠状动脉造影未显示冠状动脉瘤的迹象。然而，他在4个月前被确诊感染COVID-19，此后新诊断为右冠状动脉瘤。鉴于COVID-19与血管并发症之间的所谓关联，进一步评估COVID-19对冠状动脉瘤发生的影响可能是必要的。
