Successful Surgical Treatment of a Giant Left Coronary Artery Aneurysm with Fistula

Heart Surg Forum. 2021 Oct 7;24(5):E868-E869. doi: 10.1532/hsf.3877.

Abstract

Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is an aortic catastrophe with low prevalence. Giant CAA is even more uncommon, requiring surgical intervention. Giant CAA usually originates from the proximal segments of the right coronary and the anterior descending arteries. Here we report a rare case of giant left CAA with fistula formation treated with successful surgery.
