Hypothesis-generating for medical therapy in nonatherosclerotic coronary aneurysms; prospective studies needed before clinical adoption.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the rare presentation of diffuse nonatherosclerotic coronary aneurysms causing MI and sudden cardiac death, which was successfully managed with warfarin and aspirin.
Villines et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Diffuse nonatherosclerotic coronary aneurysms (n=1). Chronic warfarin and low-dose aspirin therapy was evaluated. Medical treatment with chronic warfarin and low-dose aspirin therapy resulted in recovery without complication in a 36-year-old male with diffuse nonatherosclerotic coronary aneurysms.
