Materials and methods: Descriptive study of patients admitted to the cardiac catheterization laboratory of the Hospital Guillermo Almenara with coronary ectasia, during the years 2012 to 2020. The frequency of coronary ectasia, clinical, angiographic and coronary flow characteristics were determined. Results: 7504 catheterizations were reviewed, and 91 patients were found to have coronary ectasia (1.21%). Of these patients, 71 cases were male (78%), and the mean age was 67.74 ± 9.9 years.
