Aneurysmal dilation of coronary arteries is observed in up to 5% of patients undergoing
coronary angiography. Due to their poorly elucidated underlying mechanisms, their variable …

Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are uncommon and describe a localized dilatation of a
coronary artery segment more than 1.5-fold compared with adjacent normal segments. The …

Coronary aneurysms are classically defined as a segment of the artery in which dilation
exceeds the diameter of an adjacent portion (considered as a reference point) by more than …

Objective—Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is an infrequently observed vascular phenotype
characterized by abnormal vessel dilatation and disturbed coronary flow, which potentially …

OBJECTIVES The purpose of our study was to evaluate the clinical significance of isolated
coronary artery ectasias or aneurysms (CEA). BACKGROUND It has been postulated that …

Coronary artery aneurysm is a rare disorder, which occurs in 0.3%–4.9% of patients
undergoing coronary angiography. Atherosclerosis accounts for> 90% of coronary artery …

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is one of the uncommon cardiovascular disorders. Its
incidence ranges from 1.2%-4.9%. Coronary artery ectasia likely represents an exaggerated …

Coronary artery aneurysms or ectasias are dilatations of arterial segments, which are
typically incidentally identified at angiography. Several large clinical series have described …

Objectives: Our hypothesis was that functional polymorphisms in matrix metalloproteinase
(MMP) genes may act as susceptibility factors for the development of coronary aneurysms …

Previous small series have provided conflicting data on the association between coronary
artery aneurysms and traditional cardiac risk factors, as well as limited information on patient …
