“…The learning points from this case are that cardiac MRI is a very useful tool for further evaluation of suspected cardiac masses and should be performed for further characterization and planning of therapeutical options, particularly after previous cardiac interventions (Hiraoka et al 2012; Ebina et al 2009; Kalimi et al 1999; Seto et al 2008; Mangia et al 2012; Berdajs et al 2011; Tran et al 2005; Yohann et al 2000). …”

“…Clinical presentation could be angina pectoris or myocardial infarction due to distal embolization. In rare cases the aneurysm compresses a heart chamber with the consequence of cardiac decompensation or it could even perforate (Berdajs et al 2011; Tran et al 2005; Yohann et al 2000). In our case the patient did not present any clinical symptoms.…”

IntroductionA 66-years old man suffering from coronary artery disease appeared without symptoms for routine follow-up in our clinic.Case descriptionThe echocardiogram revealed a tumorous mass of the right atrium and right ventricle. In the past, coronary revascularization with venous grafts of the right coronary artery and circumflex artery as well as internal mammaria graft to the left anterior descending artery was performed 20 years before. The general clinicians presented the case to the surgeons and it was decided to perform cardiac MRI as a preoperative diagnostic modality.Discussion and evaluationFollowing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass in the pericardium in the right atrioventricular groove with thrombotic material. Due to the MRI the patient underwent coronary angiography to confirm an aneurysm.ConclusionsThe learning points from this case are that cardiac MRI is a very useful tool for further evaluation of suspected cardiac masses and should be performed for further characterization.

“…CAA refers to any coronary artery dilation exceeding the diameter of normal adjacent segments by 1.5 times7 and giant CA is defined with a diameter larger than 5 cm 8. Aneurysms can be saccular (transverse larger than the longitudinal axis) or fusiform (longitudinal at least twice the transverse axis).…”

SUMMARYA 52-year-old man underwent two-dimensional echocardiogram which showed moderate to severe aortic regurgitation (AR) and dilated ascending aorta. CT angiography (CTA) showed dilated ascending aorta (5 cm) and transoesophageal echocardiogram revealed bicuspid aortic valve. He underwent cardiac catheterisation which revealed triple vessel aneurysmal disease of the left anterior descending, left circumflex and right coronary artery. The patient underwent aortic graft placement for ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic valve replacement with a Saint Jude valve for severe AR. There was no history or stigmata of Kawasaki disease and workup for coronary artery aneurysm including vasculitis and connective tissue disorders was negative. Histopathology did not reveal evidence of active aortitis or dissection. His aneurysms are being observed by a yearly coronary CTA. We present a rare case of multiple coronary artery aneurysms associated with bicuspid aortic valve and ascending aortic aneurysm. BACKGROUND
