Isolated Coronary Artery Ectasia: A High-Risk Phenotype Associated with Doubled Recurrent Infarction Rates

Highlights

Patients with myocardial infarction (MI) caused by isolated coronary artery ectasia (CAE) have an 84% higher risk of the composite endpoint of all-cause death and recurrent MI compared to those with standard coronary anatomy.

Stent thrombosis occurred in 8.9% of the CAE group compared to only 1.5% in the control group, representing a nearly six-fold increase in this devastating complication.
