[Large solitary aneurysm of the left coronary artery. Plain films and angiography (author's transl)]. 1976

N Goebel, and M P Gander, and J Wellauer

The diagnosis of coronary aneurysms has for a long time been made at autopsy. After a general review of coronary artery aneurysms, a large aneurysm of the circumflex branch of the left coronary is described; this was diagnosed by selective coronary angiography and successfully treated by surgery. The results are compared with six other reported cases of pre-operatively diagnosed coronary artery aneurysms. Since complications, such as rupture, embolisation or infarction, are common in large coronary aneurysms, early diagnosis is desirable. An abnormal bulge of the cardiac contour or circular calcification within or at the edge of the cardiac shadow may be suggestive of the diagnosis.

D006322 Heart Aneurysm A localized bulging or dilatation in the muscle wall of a heart (MYOCARDIUM), usually in the LEFT VENTRICLE. Blood-filled aneurysms are dangerous because they may burst. Fibrous aneurysms interfere with the heart function through the loss of contractility. True aneurysm is bound by the vessel wall or cardiac wall. False aneurysms are HEMATOMA caused by myocardial rupture. Cardiac Aneurysm,Aneurysm, Cardiac,Aneurysm, Heart,Aneurysms, Cardiac,Aneurysms, Heart,Cardiac Aneurysms,Heart Aneurysms
