Coronary artery ectasy is a rare coronary disease often revealed by an acute myocardial infarction.The management of this pathology is not well established.We are reporting two cases of ST-elevation myocardial infarction associated with coronary artery ectasy.These cases were reported using electrocardiography and coronary angiography data and the modalities of treatment.Then a discussion was made on the basis of the literature concerning the topic of coronary artey ectasy and myocardial infarction.Our work adds to the literature by providing additional data on the link between artery coronary ectasy and acute myocardial infarction as well as the management modalities.
