Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of coronary artery aneurysm and ectasia during conventional coronary angiography in our tertiary care center. We assessed retrospectively the angiography records of 3100 patients. At first, we mainly reviewed angiographic movies for the presence of coronary ectasia and/or aneurysm. Consequently, based on the number of the coronary artery involvement, the coronary ectasia and aneurysm were graded as mild if 1 coronary artery was involved and severe if 2 or more coronary arteries were involved. The location of ectasia and aneurysm was analyzed with respect to their isolated or combined location on various coronary arteries. The patients included in the present study were divided into 2 groups based on their gender as male and female. The incidence of the aneurysm and ectasia was 5.8 %. Incidence of aneurysm and ectasia were 1.7 % and 4.1 % respectively. Among the patients with aneurysm and ectasia, 6.7 % were male and 4.1 % were female. Their incidence was significantly higher in the male than female patients (P< 0.05). However, when their incidence was evaluated separately, coronary artery ectasia was markedly greater in male patients with regard to female patients (P
