Progressive coronary artery aneurysm presenting as acute myocardial infarction.
Coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are commonly of atherosclerotic origin and asymptomatic. The natural history is uncertain given its uncommon occurrence and lack of longitudinal data. We report a case of CAA, presenting with myocardial infarction. Follow-up coronary angiography revealed enlargement of the CAA, suggesting a progressive nature.
