Abstract

A 55-year-old lady presenting with angina was diagnosed on angiography as having a solitary aneurysm of a lateral circumflex artery. She underwent clipping of the aneurysm and a long saphenous vein bypass graft to the distal vessel. The role of surgery in the management of coronary aneurysms is discussed.
