Coronary artery ectasia is a rare entity among coronary artery anomalies. Its etiology is not clear. It is usually considered to be a variant of coronary atherosclerosis; however, a significant number of cases have been associated with conditions other than atherosclerosis, such as inflammatory disease, connective tissue disease, or a congenital disorder. Clinical symptoms may vary including stable or unstable angina pectoris, and atypical chest pain. This article aimed to review the pathogenesis and clinical course of coronary artery ectasia together with therapeutic approaches.
