Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is characterized by the coronary artery dilatation which is abnormal, where the diameter is > one and half times that of normal part.
Aim of study: The aim of this paper, is to give an outline and update information on CAE and identifying the prevalence of this unique condition., reviewed disease extention and morphological changes, and investigation of clinical characteristics and complication and its management strategies.
Conclusion: CAE is a type of atherosclerotic events that might happen in 3-8% of angiographic procedures for diagnostic aims. There is currently no fixed treatment guide line. Most of the published paper in this regard has errors with a deficiency of random samples or control, and a small size of sample.
