“…Echocardiography was a diagnostic tool in 33 patients: coronary artery aneurysm in 17 (51.5%), regional wall abnormality (hypokinesis, or akinesis) in four (12.1%), coronary artery dilation in two (6.1%), coronary artery calcification in two (6.1%), left ventricular aneurysm in one (3.0%), intra-coronary aneurysm thrombus in two (6.1%), left ventricular dysfunction+global hypokinesis+left ventricular aneurysm+coronary artery aneurysm in one (3.0%), and normal in three (9.1%) patients, respectively. Perfusion scintigraphy was used in at least three patients for the assessment of the left ventricular function of the patients (36, 48, 55). …”

“…In 58 (9.1%) patients, concurrent aneurysm and stenosis lesions developed in 86 coronary arteries including 46 (53.5%) LADs, 28 (32.6%) RCAs, 8 (9.3%) LMs, and 4 (4.7%) circumflex coronary arteries. Other findings included coronary artery ectasia in five (16.7%) (21, 47, 55, 56), thrombosed coronary aneurysms in nine (30%), calcified coronary aneurysms in 14 (46.7%), proximal RCA dissection in one (3.3%) (70), and left ventricular aneurysm in one (3.3%) patient (28), respectively.…”

“…Angioplasty of coronary arteries in a site below an aneurysm may be difficult, and often proves unsuccessful, as was in the case of the presented patient. There are no clear therapeutic guidelines for that kind of patients [6][7][8][9][10]. In face of absence of guidelines, the analysis of single cases is particularly valuable.…”

“…Furthermore most of the patients had reached adulthood when the second intervention was required. Re-operation utilizing either the radial artery, GEA or both, and PCI using coronary stents could be applied more safely and effectively than in children ( 37 , 38 ).…”
