Document Details : Title: A giant coronary sinus mimicking descending aorta Author(s): O.C. Yontar , A. Erdem , I. Tandogan Journal: Acta Cardiologica Volume: 63 Issue: 6 Date: 2008 Pages: 791-792 DOI: 10.2143/AC.63.6.2033398 Abstract : A 58-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency service with dyspnoea. The patient underwent several laboratory and imaging tests including echocardiography and a diagnosis of descending aortic aneurysm was suspected. After computerised tomography scanning, a normal-size descending aorta was found so that echocardiography was done once more. Intravenous contrast examination revealed a giant coronary sinus in this patient. |
