Résumé
A rare case of giant coronary artery ectasia associated with coronary artery aneurysm was recognized. A 69-year-old woman presented with an ischemic electrocardiogram changes during a medical check-up. Coronary computed tomography angiography showed right coronary artery (RCA) ectasia associated with a giant aneurysm originating from the distal RCA. She was asymptomatic and exhibited no risk factors, including Kawasaki disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or family history. The patient underwent surgery for giant coronary aneurysms to prevent rupture. The aneurysm was on the peripheral side of the right coronary artery; hence, coronary artery bypass was not performed. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. Histopathological examination of the aneurysm revealed degeneration due to atherosclerosis. She was prescribed warfarin and aspirin for thrombus prevention.
