    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are increasingly recognized, affecting approximately 1.5% of patients with coronary artery disease.
    • While arteriosclerosis is a common cause, CAAs can also result from congenital factors, mycosis, dissection, trauma, vasculitis, or periarteritis nodosa.
    • This report details a case of CAA in a 28-year-old woman with systemic vasculitis and aortic insufficiency.
