Qualitative and quantitative coronary angiography findings.</p

The parameter assessment of ectatic coronary arteries.

The dotted lines show the range analysed in the left anterior descending artery (A), left circumflex artery (B), and right coronary artery (C), respectively. Abbreviations: D1, maximal diameter; D2, minimal diameter.</p

A representative case of coronary artery ectasia.

Images of a 62-year-old man with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Diffuse ectasia and focal stenosis in the right coronary artery are seen (A). The axial image (B) and 3D reconstruction image (C) of computed tomography show an infra-renal aortic aneurysm.</p

Abbreviations: AA, aortic aneurysm; AAA, abdominal aortic aneurysm; ACS, acute coronary syndrome; BMI, body mass index; CABG, coronary artery bypass graft; CAG, coronary angiography; DLp, dyslipidemia; DM, diabetes mellitus.</p

Study flow chart showing the disposition and outcome of 214 patients.

Those with CCr < 60 mL/min and hsCRP ≥ 0.2 mg/dL were excluded. During a median 5.1-year follow-up, 20 patients experienced MACCE. CAD, coronary artery disease; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; CCr, creatinine clearance; MACCE, major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events; ACS, acute coronary syndrome; CHF, congestive heart failure.</p
