Insights
Two infant cases of coronary artery fibroelastosis complicated by thrombosis are presented. Histological analysis revealed intimal proliferation, medial fibrosis, and internal elastic lamina disintegration.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Pathology
- Pediatric Cardiology
- Histopathology
Background:
- Coronary artery fibroelastosis is a rare condition affecting infants.
- Understanding its pathological features is crucial for diagnosis and management.
Observation:
- This report details two cases of infantile coronary artery fibroelastosis.
- Both cases presented with secondary coronary thrombosis.
Findings:
- Histological examination showed characteristic intimal proliferation.
- Fibrosis of the media and disintegration of the internal elastic lamina were also observed.
Implications:
- These findings contribute to the understanding of infantile coronary artery fibroelastosis.
- Further research may elucidate the pathogenesis and long-term outcomes of this condition.
Abstract:
Two cases of fibroelastosis of the coronary arteries in infants are reported. The fibroelastosis was complicated with coronary thrombosis. Histologically isolated proliferation of the intima, fibrosis of the media and disintegration of the lamina elastica interna was found.
