      Abstract

      We describe a case of a 54-year-old woman who had a right cardiac mass found on coronary angiography. Echocardiography, computed tomography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging characterized it as a thrombosed giant right coronary artery aneurysm. This was confirmed on pathology. We present the role of multimodality cardiovascular imaging in the diagnosis and characterization of a giant coronary artery aneurysm.

      Résumé

      Nous décrivons le cas d’une femme de 54 ans chez qui l’on a observé la présence d’une masse cardiaque droite à l’angiographie coronarienne. L’échocardiographie, la tomodensitométrie et l’imagerie cardiaque par résonance magnétique ont permis la caractérisation d’un anévrisme géant de l’artère coronaire droite, qui a été confirmé par la pathologie. Nous présentons le rôle de l’imagerie cardiovasculaire multimodale dans le diagnostic et la caractérisation d’un anévrisme coronarien géant.
