Abstract: | Three cases of large multiple coronary aneurysms, situated on both right and left coronary arteries, were seen in three middle-aged adult patients. These patients were hospitalized for myocardial infarction in two cases and for angina pectoris in the third case. On the coronary angiogram, the coronary lesions were quite unusual as there were multiple voluminous aneurysms on both coronary arteries without evidence of atherosclerotic lesions of the remainder of the coronary tree. These lesions did not seem to be congenital or atherosclerotic, and it was postulated that these lesions might have been the sequelae of a mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome although no previous history of this condition could be found in these three patients. |
