Rapidly Progressive Coronary Aneurysm: A Rare Case of Isolated Coronary Vasculitis With Recurrent Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT: Isolated coronary arteritis without systemic involvement in adults is exceedingly rare. A 60-year-old patient developed recurrent non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions for 1 year. After an initial coronary angiogram that was normal, serial angiograms showed de novo aneurysm formation. The patient responded favorably to corticosteroids, supporting the diagnosis of isolated coronary arteritis. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
