Abstract
Coronary ectasia is a rare clinical condition whose etiology is dominated by atherosclerosis. In a small percentage of patients, it may be of congenital origin. Its mechanisms are still poorly understood and its management is still non standardized due to its rarity. We report a case of congenital coronary ectasia discovered in a patient with aortic valve stenosis caused by congenital bicuspid aortic valve; this association being frequent in congenital coronary ectasia. The aim of this report is also to review the clinical features of coronary ectasia, its diagnosis and treatment.
