  • Title: Surgical Resection of a Giant Coronary Aneurysm.
    Author: Mehall JR, Verlare JL.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2015 Jun; 99(6):2212-3. PubMed ID: 26046882.
    Abstract:
    Coronary aneurysms are quite uncommon, and those qualifying as giant aneurysms are even more so. Currently, no standardized treatment protocol exists. We report the case of a 46-year-old man presenting with clinical signs and symptoms of acute myocardial infarction who was found to have a giant coronary aneurysm. The patient was initially evaluated with a computed tomography angiogram, which revealed a 9-cm aneurysm of the left circumflex coronary artery. Surgical resection of the aneurysm, ligation of the proximal circumflex artery, and bypass using the left internal mammary artery to vascularize the proximal circumflex artery was performed.
