摘要
Coronary artery ectasia describes a local or diffuse dilatation of the epicardial coronary arteries. This review summarizes the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of coronary artery ectasia. Better identification of the pathophysiologic steps will shed light into the clinical significance and may have direct implications for the management strategies of this disease. Additionally, understanding the underlying etiology may help to improve treatment modalities specific to coronary artery ectasia. (C) 2018 Elscvier Inc. All rights reserved.
