“…Sayin et al [21] postulated that CAE renders patients at higher risk of myocardial ischemia irrespective of extent of stenosis [21]. Nayamu et al [22] reported a significant proportion of patients at presentation either had an acute myocardial infarction or a history of myocardial infarction while (49%) patients had angina.…”

International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations.IJCRI publishes Review Articles, Case Series, Case Reports, Case in Images, Clinical Images and Letters to Editor. Website: www.ijcasereportsandimages.comSeverely ectatic left circumflex coronary artery presenting with an ST-elevation myocardial infarction: A case report Saifuldeen Al-Qaisi, Shirin Nafisi, Sina Nafisi ABSTRACT Introduction: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a very rare condition with unclear etiology, clinical significance, and proper management strategies. Case Report: A 54-year-old male who had an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) as an initial presentation of a significantly ectatic left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) with a diameter of 8mm. The patient presented to the hospital with chest pain. Upon further evaluations, he was deemed to be having an STEMI noted in the lateral EKG leads in addition to elevated troponin I level. The patient underwent left heart catheterization which revealed an ectatic LCX with a diameter close to 8 mm, with an acute thrombus and occlusion of the distal LCX and severe atherosclerosis. Percutaneous coronary intervention was done to re-establish flow to the obtuse marginal artery (OM). Subsequently, patient underwent coronary artery bypass grafting two days later. He was discharged home three days after surgery in stable condition on aspirin and clopidogrel. Conclusion: This case is unique as it describes a significantly aneurysmal LCX which is very wide in diameter complicated with an intraluminal thrombus without a prior warning in this patient, all managed successfully. Literature provides limited information regarding optimal management of similar conditions.

“…The CAE phenomenon is an important clinical condition because the patients with CAE may present with chest pain most often requiring urgent admission to coronary care unit, have ST segment depression in treadmill tests or regional defects in myocardial scintigraphy (24). Kruger et al (8) studied 42 patients with isolated bilateral coronary ectasia and aneurysms for evidence of inducible myocardial ischemia.…”
