[Multiple coronary aneurysms of an atherosclerotic nature in a patient with an abdominal aortic aneurysm: presentation of an anatomo-clinical case].
We describe the case of a 71-year-old man with history of inferior wall myocardial infarction and abdominal aortic aneurysm surgically treated. The patient, admitted to hospital for chest pain, after 24 hours suddenly dead for ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest. Chest X Ray, echocardiogram and Computed Tomography had shown a very large paracardiac mass. At the autopsy, three large saccular aneurysms were found, one for each coronary artery and lumen completely filled with thrombi.
