RESUMEN
Coronary vasculitis is a rare but devastating complication of giant cell arteritis, otherwise known as temporal arteritis. Originally named for its propensity to attack the superficial temporal arteries, it is now recognized that it commonly involves a number of medium and large arteries throughout the body. Here we describe two cases of giant cell arteritis affecting the coronary arteries, one discovered at post-mortem and one which was successfully treated with immunosuppressive therapy and drug-eluting coronary stents.
