ABSTRACT

Coronary artery aneurysms and ectasia are often incidentally diagnosed and may cause arrhythmia, ischemia, rupture, thromboembolism, and heart failure; in adults are caused by atherosclerosis, in pediatrics Kawasaki disease and Takayasu arteritis are main factors. Others are connective tissue disorders, infections, vasculitis, and genetics. Authors comment on recent literature data.
Keywords: aneurysm, coronary artery, ectasia
