Abstract

Coronary artery aneurysm is defined as coronary dilatation which exceeds the diameter of a normal adjacent segment as much as 1.5 times. Atherosclerosis is a predominant cause in the majority of patients. The presence of coronary artery aneurysm is rare however the association with abdominal aortic aneurysm is more rare pathology. We report a patient having fusiform left main coronary artery aneurysm and abdominal aorta aneurysm concomittantly. Atherosclerosis was found the cause of the aneurysm and the patient was treated medically.

Özet

Koroner arter anevrizması, koroner arter çapının normal koroner arter çapından 1.5 kat veya daha fazla genişlemiş olması olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Ateroskleroz hastaların çoğunda önde gelen sebeptir. Koroner arter anevrizmaları nadir olmakla birlikte abdominal aort anevrizmasıyla birlikteliği daha nadirdir. Bu olgu sunumunda abdominal aort anevrizmanın eşlik ettiği sol ana koroner arterin fuziform anevrizması olan bir vaka anlatılmıştır. Aterosklerozun anevrizmanın sebebi olduğu sonucuna varıldı ve hasta medikal tedaviyle takibe alındı.
