Identification of right coronary artery ectasia with echocardiography and confirmation with multimodal imaging

Echocardiography. 2024 Sep;41(9):e15924. doi: 10.1111/echo.15924.

Abstract

We present the case of a patient with myocardial infarction due to coronary ectasia. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed a unique image of a cystic-like mass in the right atrium corresponding to the ectatic right coronary artery (arrows), which was confirmed with computed tomography.

Keywords: coronary artery ectasia; coronary computed tomography; echocardiography.
