Giant Coronary Aneurysms

We report the case of a woman in her 20s presenting with 1 year of intermittent chest pain and exertional dyspnea found to have multiple giant coronary aneurysms. The largest aneurysm was found to be 7.2 × 5.2 cm in the left anterior descending artery. Because of the size and location of the aneurysms, surgical intervention was pursued and involved resection of the coronary aneurysms with reconstruction and bypass grafting.

Abstract

We report the case of a woman in her 20s presenting with 1 year of intermittent chest pain and exertional dyspnea found to have multiple giant coronary aneurysms. The largest aneurysm was found to be 7.2 × 5.2 cm in the left anterior descending artery. Because of the size and location of the aneurysms, surgical intervention was pursued and involved resection of the coronary aneurysms with reconstruction and bypass grafting.
