Giant coronary artery aneurysms (GCAA), are rare findings often discovered incidentally in adults. GCAAs are defined by a significant enlargement of coronary arteries, posing a heightened risk of myocardial infarction and thrombosis.
A 52-year-old male known case of ischemic heart disease (IHD), presented with chest pain and signs of anterior ST-elevation MI (STEMI). He had a history of MI six years ago and was on a medical regimen. Coronary angiography revealed a huge aneurysm (4.8∗8.2mm) in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and ectasia in other arteries. Surgical management via coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) was pursued, successfully addressing the aneurysm.
Recent advancements have improved our understanding and imaging capabilities for coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs). Treatment options include medical therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention, or surgery, with decisions tailored to individual cases. Standardized treatment protocols await clarification through further research, including randomized controlled trials.
巨大冠状动脉瘤(GCAA)在成人中罕见,常为偶然发现。GCAA定义为冠状动脉显著扩张,会增加心肌梗死和血栓形成的风险。
一名52岁男性,已知患有缺血性心脏病(IHD),出现胸痛及前壁ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)体征。他六年前有过心肌梗死病史,正在接受药物治疗。冠状动脉造影显示左前降支(LAD)有一个巨大动脉瘤(4.8×8.2mm),其他动脉有扩张。通过冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)进行手术治疗,成功处理了动脉瘤。
最近的进展提高了我们对冠状动脉瘤(CAA)的认识和成像能力。治疗选择包括药物治疗、经皮冠状动脉介入治疗或手术,具体决策需根据个体情况量身定制。标准化治疗方案有待通过进一步研究(包括随机对照试验)予以明确。
