Coil embolization to giant left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery coronary artery aneurysm after failed coronary aneurysmal repair in IgG4-related disease: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a chronic fibroinflammatory condition with multiple-organ involvement. Rupture of coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) in IgG4-RD is rare.

Case summary

A 65-year-old man with IgG4-RD has suffered from recurrent episodes of arterial aneurysms since 2003. He presented with chest pain and hypotension caused by localized cardiac tamponade at right ventricle free wall due to the rupture of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) of left anterior descending artery (LAD). An urgent LAD aneurysm repaired with bovine pericardium and obliterated aneurysmal sac with cryo-acrylate glue was done together with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using saphenous vein graft (SVG) to LAD and SVG to posterior descending artery. Three-month after surgery, the
