title: [Extensive isolated aneurysm of the right coronary vessel developing within 4 years].
abstract: The authors report the case of a 64 year old man on chronic haemodialysis therapy in whom coronary angiography showed a right coronary artery aneurysm. This patient had undergone coronary angiography 4 years previously and no aneurysm had been found on that occasion. The aneurysm occurred in the context of coronary atherosclerosis, coronary angiography showing typical appearances of double vessel disease. There were several special features of this aneurysm which contribute to the originality of the case: its rapid development within 4 years, its large size and the fact that it was an isolated finding on the right coronary artery. Several aetiologies are discussed but none can be formally confirmed.
