[Arteriosclerotic aneurysms of the right coronary artery in a 56-year-old female].
We report the case of a 56-year-old woman with a saccular aneurysm of the right coronary artery, which was resected. Aneurysmatic coronary artery disease mostly has an arteriosclerotic origin and occurs in patients with coronary artery disease with a frequency of 0.3-4.9%. In the affected patients myocardial infarction is more frequent, but their 5-year survival rate is not diminished. The therapy of choice is, as indicated, aortocoronary bypass grafting.
