Abstract

Congenital coronary aneurysms are an unusual anatomical entity. Their prognosis appears to be particularly dependent on the presence or absence of aneurysm thrombosis. We report two cases of congenital coronary aneurysms, diagnosed in one case after myocardial infarction. The two patients were treated successfully by an exclusion of the aneurysm and coronary bypass. The aim of this study is to discuss the clinical features, prognosis and management of this disease.
