Giant noninflammatory and nonatherosclerotic coronary arterial aneurysm in the left main trunk assessed by intravascular ultrasound imaging--a case report

Angiology. 2000 Jul;51(7):599-602. doi: 10.1177/000331970005100709.

Abstract

A case of a giant noninflammatory and nonatherosclerotic coronary arterial aneurysm in the left main trunk of a 69-year-old female is reported. Preoperative intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images were helpful for visualizing the morphologic and histologic features of the coronary aneurysm. They were also useful for determining the etiologic background and surgical procedure.
