Abstract

Abstract A case of localized aneurysm of the left coronary artery is presented. This is believed to be the fifty-first case reported in the literature. Ten of these aneurysms, including the one herein reported, were on an arteriosclerotic basis. Death from aneurysm is usually due to congestive failure, coronary thrombosis or rupture. In our study it is postulated that intermittent occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery by external pressure from the overlying aneurysm may have contributed to the terminal manifestations of congestive heart failure.
