Abstract

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) or aneurismal coronary artery disease is a rare dilatation of a segment of the coronary artery to more than 1.5 times of the normal adjacent segments. CAE is mainly caused by atherosclerotic disease and is usually asymptomatic. The authors present an 88 year-old-male with underlying coronary artery disease and repaired abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who presents with recurrent angina and was diagnosed with CAE by coronary angiography. Patient was managed medically with aspirin, statin, beta blocker and anticoagulant.
