Statistical analysis will be performed using the paired t test to compare coenzyme levels and echocardiographic indices at baseline and after treatment and after supplementation.
Giant coronary artery aneurysms are a rare and potentially life-threatening condition. A 47 year old male presented with a progressive 6 month history of dyspnea and acute right sided chest pain. During the patients work-up, a 10 cm × 10 cm right coronary artery aneurysm was discovered on CT scan and confirmed by cardiac catheterization. The patient was emergently taken to the operating room for aneurysmal resection with placement of a greater saphenous vein bypass graft. There were no post-operative complications and the etiology of this patient’s aneurysm was determined to be a congenital ectatic dilation of his right coronary artery. The patient is doing well at 2 years of clinical follow-up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
