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 three cases of congenital coronary aneurysms, diagnosed in one case after myocardial infarction. Two patients were treated successfully by an exclusion of the aneurysm and coronary bypass and the third patient was treated medically. The aim of this study is to discuss the clinical features, prognosis and management of this disease.
