Dual Aneurysms of the Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery Initially Detected by Echocardiography.

Abstract

Echocardiographic detection of abnormalities occurring medially and distally in coronary arteries is uncommon and is not well recognized. Herein, we describe an 87-year-old woman with two distinct aneurysms involving a branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), one of which communicated with the pulmonary artery (PA). Initially determined via transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), these findings were subsequently validated by coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). We also present a review of the published studies of multiple coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) exceeding 20 mm in diameter, focusing on the location, etiology, symptoms, and common ultrasonic characteristics of 30 cases. Echocardiography is a valuable, noninvasive technique for initial detection, monitoring, and follow-up of CAAs, serving to direct further diagnostics.
