| Abstract: | Dissecting aneurysms of coronary arteries are a rare finding and have never been reported in a cardiac allograft. We found two spontaneous dissecting aneurysms on the middle third of both the left anterior descending and the right coronary arteries in a female cardiac transplantation recipient. She died 43 days after cardiac transplantation after developing human cytomegalovirus pneumonia and pancreatitis. Dissecting coronary aneurysms, microfoci of subendocardial coagulative necrosis, and area of subepicardial dystrophic calcifications were discovered at necropsy examination. |
