Giant Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery Aneurysm in a Patient with Behçet’s Disease

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Coronary artery involvement is quite rare in the course of Behçet’s disease. Complications secondary to coronary artery aneurysms, including rupture, dissection, and myocardial ischemia, may be fatal. In young patients without cardiovascular risk factors, systemic inflammatory vasculitis syndromes should be investigated in case of acute coronary syndrome secondary to dilated coronary arteries. In this report, we present our management strategy in a 31-year-old male patient with Bechet’s disease.

Keywords: Behcet Syndrome; Coronary Aneurysm; Vasculitis; Dissection; Heart Disease Risk Factors.

Abbreviations, acronyms & symbols
