Coronary artery aneurysm is an abnormal dilatation of part of the coronary artery.
Diagnosis
It is often found coincidentally on coronary angiography.[1]
Causes
Causes include atherosclerosis,[2] Kawasaki disease[3] and coronary catheterization as well as vasculitides and collagen vascular diseases.
Prognosis
It has a good prognosis.[1]
Definition
A localized arterial widening (dilatation) that usually manifests itself as a bulge. Its presence may lead to weakening of the wall and eventual rupture.
Grade 0
None – no ectasia present.
Grade 1
Ectasia – visual assessment of ectasia >1 & < 1.5 times the normal artery diameter located anywhere in the culprit artery.
Grade 2
Aneurysm – visual assessment of an aneurysm > 1.5 times the normal artery diameter located anywhere in the culprit artery.
- NOTE: An aneurysm can be further classified as either saccular (wider than it is long) or fusiform (elongated).
