Coronary artery aneurysm is an abnormal dilatation of part of the coronary artery.

Causes[]

Acquired causes include atherosclerosis,[2] Kawasaki disease[3] and coronary catheterization.

It can also be congenital.[4][5]

Diagnosis[]

It is often found coincidentally on coronary angiography.[6]

Treatment[]

Prognosis[]

Generally, it has a good prognosis.[6] In Kawasaki's disease, untreated, there is a 1–2% death rate, from cardiac causes.[citation needed]
