Abstract

Coronary artery aneurysm is defined as diffuse or segmental dilatation of the coronary arteries more than 1.5 times the diameter of the normal arterial segment. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause in adulthood. In addition, trauma, systemic lupus erythematosus, Marfan syndrome, Kawasaki disease and prior coronary intervention can cause aneurysmal dilatation of the coronary arterial tree. coronary aneurysms can barely cause symptoms and they are usually encountered incidentally during coronary angiography.
