Abstract:
We report a case of a ruptured coronary artery aneurysm. An 87-year-old woman suffered from cardiac tamponade due to a ruptured coronary artery aneurysm. Coronary angiography showed a giant coronary aneurysm without coronary artery fistula. Emergency surgery was performed through median sternotomy. We performed aneurysmectomy and ligation of the perfusion arteries under cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. We also reviewed nine cases of ruptured coronary artery aneurysm without coronary artery fistula in Japan. The disease is a rare clinical state and considered to be an indication for emergency surgery.
