Abstract
Objective: To explore the imaging and clinical features of Behcet's disease with coronary artery involvement in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice. Methods: A total of 6 Behcet's disease patients with coronary involvement diagnosed and treated in our hospital from 1999-08 to 2016-11 were analyzed. Coronary angiography (CAG) and coronary CTA were performed for diagnosis. There were 5 cases received CAG and 5 cases received CTA examinations. Results: All 6 patients had the first clinical visit by sudden pericardial tapenade, myocardial infarction or cardiac shock. For diagnosis: the imaging presentation included coronary stenosis, occlusion and pseudo aneurysm formation. 3 patients had anterior descending artery involvement, 1 had the far-end of left circumflex involvement and 2 had the middle segment of right coronary involvement; all patients were combining large amount of pericardial effusion. For treatment: there were 3 patients with aneurysm received conservative treatment (1 case had open thoracic exploration), 1/3 lost contact and 2 having long-term normal life; 3 patients received coronary stent implantation without optimal effect. Conclusion: The patients of Behcet's disease with coronary involvement may easily form pseudo aneurysm; CAG/CTA has been helpful for diagnosis. Clear pre-operative diagnosis of etiology is important for treatment.
