Abstract

The aneurysm of the right coronary artery is a rare entity, which occurs primarily in women. The most frequent causes of death in these aneurysms are in its order: rupture, thrombosis and ischemia. Atherosclerotic disease is the most frequent cause of spontaneous aneurysm. Most patients are asymptomatic and have a continuous murmur or moderate cardiomegaly and plethora on chest X-ray. In advanced stages it causes ischemic heart disease. Its diagnosis requires an adequate clinical judgment and routine tests for coronary artery disease.
