Surgical Repair of an Asymptomatic Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm

Background Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a rare finding, being mostly diagnosed on angiography or at autopsies. It is defined as being a dilation of the coronary artery that exceeds the diameter of the patient's largest coronary vessel by 1.5 to 2 times. Case Report We describe the operative correction of a giant right CAA measuring in excess of 10 cm. Conclusion Management of giant CAAs is...

Cardiovascular images. Giant right coronary aneurysm to left ventricular fistula.

A 59-year-old man was admitted with mild dyspnea on exertion and prior radiographic evidence of cardiac enlargement. His medical history was unremarkable. On physical examination, grade 4 to-and-fro murmur was heard over the left sternal border. ECG showed normal sinus rhythm with left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy.

Technical Considerations of Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm Exclusion

Giant coronary artery aneurysms are rare clinical entities. We report the case of a 49-year-old man who presented with dyspnoea and exertional chest pain. Investigations confirmed an aneurysmal right coronary artery measuring 4 cm with a fistulous communication to the right atrium. Following right atriotomy, the fistula was oversewn and the aneurysmal right coronary artery ligated at its origin...
