Core Tip

Core Tip: Most patients with coronary artery aneurysm remain asymptomatic until the development of complications or the occurrence of obstructive coronary disease-related clinical manifestations. The underlying pathophysiology is miscellaneous. The ideal management of coronary artery aneurysm has not yet been defined, but computed tomography angiography is the recommended non-invasive test for long-term follow-up. Future prospective comparative trials targeted to define the appropriate strategy and the optimal time to intervene are required.
