Özet

Coronary artery aneurysm is a rare coronary abnormality nearly half of which originates from atherosclerotic lesions. The major causes of non-atherosclerotic coronary aneurysms include coronary ectasia, Kawasaki disease, Takayasu aortitis, thoracic trauma and complicated angioplasty; however, it has been rarely reported associated with Behcet's disease. © 2005 Published by Elsevier Inc on behalf of Australasian Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons and the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand.
