Aneurysm of the left main coronary artery without obstructive disease: report of a case presenting with severe unstable angina and treated with systemic thrombolysis

A fusiform aneurysm of the left main coronary artery without associated obstructive disease was detected in a 77‐year‐old patient with severe unstable angina treated with systemic thrombolysis. The authors emphasize the following features: (1) unusual location of the aneurysm, (2) absence of concomitant obstruction in this age group, and (3) clinical efficacy of thrombolysis and subsequent long‐term oral anticoagulation.© 1993 Wlley‐Liss, Inc
