Abstract

Coronary artery aneurysm is defined as a localized dilatation exceeding the diameter of the adjacent normal segment by 50% and is encountered in 1.5-5% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Coronary artery aneurysm with a diameter more than 2 cm is extremely rare and is termed as “giant coronary artery aneurysm”. In this case report we describe an elderly patient with angina pectoris who had a giant coronary artery aneurysm together with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Özet

Koroner arter anevrizması, koroner arter çapında komşu normal segmente oranla %50 genişleme şeklinde tanımlanır ve koroner anjiyografi yapılan hastaların %1,5 ile %5’inde saptanır. Anevrizma çapının 2 cm’ den büyük olması “dev koroner arter anevrizması” olarak adlandırılır ve oldukça nadir görülür. Bu yazıda, 74 yaşında göğüs ağrısı yakınması ile başvuran, dev koroner arter anevrizması ile eş zamanlı apikal hipertrofik kardiyomiyopati saptanan bir hasta sunulmaktadır.
