Insights
A young woman with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (CAEBV) infection underwent successful coronary artery bypass grafting for complex coronary artery disease. This case highlights the need for careful evaluation and management of cardiac issues in CAEBV patients.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Infectious Diseases
- Virology
Background:
- Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (CAEBV) infection is a rare condition.
- CAEBV can be associated with various systemic complications, including cardiovascular manifestations.
- Coronary artery disease in young individuals, especially with underlying infections, requires careful consideration.
Abstract:
A 24-year-old woman with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (CAEBV) infection successfully underwent coronary artery bypass grafting for triple coronary arteries with chronic total occlusion and aneurysms. This case underscores the importance of accurate assessment and treatment of coronary artery lesions in patients with CAEBV infection.
