A 54 year old woman with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) was
found to have multiple coronary aneurysms. Intraoperative intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) revealed severe coronary disease proximal to the
aneurysm that had not been apparent angiographically. An IVUS picture
of one of the giant coronary aneurysms is also shown. The vascular
manifestations of neurofibromatosis and the causes of coronary
aneurysms are reviewed.
