A rare case of a giant circumflex coronary artery aneurysm 10 years after bentall surgery

Abstract

In this paper, we describe a rare case of coronary artery aneurysms occasionally found on a pre interventional Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography performed on a 67-year-old man with a history of aneurysm of the ascending aorta previously treated with Bentall surgery, who arrived at our hospital to have a percutaneous valve-in-valve implantation procedure. Even though the patient was considered not eligible for the procedure, due to his many comorbidities, and conservatively managed, at 1-year followup his angiographic condition remained stable.

Incidental findings of acute myocardial infarction detected during ECG-gated and nongated thoracic CTA: A report of four cases

“…Perfusion abnormalities may be identified in some infarctions, especially in the acute phase as shown in our cases [ 24 ]. Perfusion abnormalities usually manifest first and most profoundly in the subendocardium.…”
