Abstract |
Aneurysms of the left main coronary artery are very rare in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The increased accuracy of computed tomography permits the detection of coronary artery anatomic structures after one peripheral injection of contrast agent. We report a 42-year-old man with a left main coronary aneurysm, with a thrombus presenting as non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, detected by coronary computed tomographic angiography.
