Coronary artery ectasia: its frequency and relationship with atherosclerotic risk factors in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization

Abstract: ÖZETAmaç: Koroner arter ektazisi (KAE), koroner arterlerin bölgesel ya da yaygın anevrizmal dilatasyonu olarak tanımlanır. Biz bu çalışmada merkezimizdeki KAE sıklığını belirlemeyi ve izole KAE ve koroner arter hastalığı (KAH)'nın eşlik ettiği KAE'li hastalar arasında klinik ve anjiyografik karakteristikleri karşılaştırmayı amaçladık.Yöntemler: Şubat 2004-Aralık 2005 tarihleri arasında koroner anjiyografi uygulanan 12.514 hastanın kayıtları geriye dönük olarak 2 bağımsız operatör tarafından değerlendirildi.

“…Also they suggest that coronary artery dilatation should be refined to distinguish between pure and mixed forms. The failure of conventional risk factors for atherosclerosis to discriminate between the two forms [13] urges more search for specific risk factors, genetic or metabolic, for explaining the morphological differences.…”

“…Thus, it may have been proposed that the development of CAE and increase of PWV result from common etiologic factor such as inflammation that has a central role on development of atherosclerosis. Finally, Aksu et al (3) proposed that patients who have isolated CAE or CAE with CAD have similar etiopathogenesis because of they have considerably similar risk factors of CAD and clinical presentation. Therefore, we thought that the possible etiology in our patients is coronary atherosclerosis.…”

“…Isolated CAE comprises a small portion of the total of CAE cases with an incidence of 0.1-0.79% and coronary artery stenosis, valvular heart disease and other cardiac disorders are not present in this phenomenon (1)(2)(3)(4). Although occasionally related to congenital anomalies, inflammatory diseases or coronary interventions, the etiology of CAE is linked to coronary atherosclerosis in most cases (1,5).…”

“…Bunu sol ön inen arter ve sirkumfleks arter izler. Ana koroner arterde ektazi oldukça nadirdir (1,19,20). Sıklığı açısından bizim çalışmamızda -da literatürde belirtildiği gibi-KAE en sık sağ koroner arterde görülmektedir (LAD, CX ve RCA için sırası ile %25, 33 ve 42) (1,3,15,(18)(19)(20).…”
