Left anterior descending coronary aneurysm.

摘要

A 19-year-old man presented with gradual onset of retrosternal chest pain and hemodynamic instability. Echocardiography and computed tomography showed substantial anterior and posterior pericardial effusion with tamponade. At surgery, a 3-cm ruptured aneurysm of the left anterior descending coronary artery was identified. It was successfully bypassed using a saphenous vein graft anastomosed to the ascending aorta.
