Abstract

Behcet's disease is multi-systemic vasculitis affecting all sizes of arteries and veins. The prevalence of coronary involvement in Behcet's disease is extremely rare. A 35-year-old woman with one-year history of Behcet's disease was in hospitalized with pseudoaneurysm of left anterior descending coronary artery, which was detected by echocardiography. The patient was successfully treated by implantation of an endovascular graft-stent.
