Abstrakt: Two cases of aneurysm of the coronary arteries were diagnosed by coronary angiography in the course of a myocardial infarction. The first aneurysm was located at the level of the left coronary trunk in a 32 year-old woman; it was complicated with a massive anterior infarction which led to a heart transplant in the following months. The second aneurysm was located on the right coronary artery in an 18 year-old man; the inferior infarction was rudimentary and the subsequent course was quite favorable. Congenital aneurysm of the coronary arteries is a rare anomaly, often localized on the left coronary trunk and almost always diagnosed in young patients following myocardial infarction.
