Antithrombotic treatment strategy for patients with coronary artery ectasia and acute myocardial infarction: A case report

Figure 1 The first coronary angiography. This angiography was performed 3 d after admission to hospital with chest pain (video), Q wave on electrocardiogram, and increased myocardial injury markers. The two images show aneurysmal dilation in the entire right coronary artery (RCA) with a diameter of 6.60 mm, four fold of a 5 French catheter and more than 1.70 fold of the normal RCA. The middle of the RCA presented with 70%-80% limited stenosis, showed a thrombus shadow after the second turning point, and the forward blood flow was thrombolysis in myocardial infarction grade 3. No additional percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed after a discussion with the PCI group because the symptoms were relieved and the coronary blood flow was unobstructed.
