- Coronary artery aneurysms are rare localized dilations of coronary arteries, with incidences between 0.3% and 5.3%, and are classified as giant if they exceed 4 times the normal diameter.
- They are often linked to atherosclerosis, particularly affecting individuals in their 60s and 70s, and primarily present with symptoms of ischemic heart disease.
- Treatment options vary and lack consensus, ranging from medical to surgical interventions, as illustrated by a case involving a patient with a giant right coronary artery aneurysm and associated complications.
Background: It is unknown which analgesic modality gives better results after a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of ropivacaine for local use against that of intravenous dipyrone in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Methods: A non-inferiority randomized clinical trial.
