A “giant bomb” in acute myocardial infarction due to coronary artery aneurysm: a case report

We present a rare case of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction complicated by a coronary artery aneurysm, highlighting the therapeutic challenges in managing such complex pathologies. While intensified anticoagulation combined with dual antiplatelet therapy constitutes a clinically valid approach, the absence of consensus guidelines results in significant variability in treatment protocols. This case underscores the urgent need for large-scale multicenter studies to establish evidence-based management strategies for patients with coronary artery aneurysm associated with acute coronary syndromes.

Abstract

We present a rare case of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction complicated by a coronary artery aneurysm, highlighting the therapeutic challenges in managing such complex pathologies. While intensified anticoagulation combined with dual antiplatelet therapy constitutes a clinically valid approach, the absence of consensus guidelines results in significant variability in treatment protocols. This case underscores the urgent need for large-scale multicenter studies to establish evidence-based management strategies for patients with coronary artery aneurysm associated with acute coronary syndromes.
