Rapidly progressive coronary aneurysm: a rare case of isolated coronary vasculitis with recurrent myocardial infarction

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Isolated coronary arteritis without systemic involvement in adults is exceedingly rare. A 60-year-old patient developed recurrent non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions for 1 year. After an initial coronary angiogram that was normal, serial angiograms showed de novo aneurysm formation. The patient responded favorably to corticosteroids, supporting the diagnosis of isolated coronary arteritis.
