RESUMOO aneurisma do tronco da artéria coronária esquerda é extremamente raro e resulta de doença coronariana grave, com poucos casos descritos na literatura. A mortalidade é elevada e a terapêutica ainda é controversa. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente de 61 anos, admitida no pronto-socorro de hospital universitário, com quadro clínico de síndrome coronariana aguda, cuja coronariografia demonstrou a presença de aneurisma gigante do tronco da artéria coronária esquerda. A paciente foi submetida a tratamento cirúrgico e permanece assintomática após um ano de acompanhamento ambulatorial. DESCRITORES:Aneurisma coronário, cirurgia. Coronariopatia. Vasos coronários, cirurgia. SUMMARY Aneurysm of the Left Main Coronary ArteryAneurysm in the coronary trunk is an uncommon angiographic finding, with few cases reported. The mortality is high and the therapeutics are still uncertain. The aneurysm of the left main coronary artery is a rare and the worse cause of coronary artery disease. We report a case of a 61-year-old-female patient admitted in the Hospital Emergency Unit with a history of acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiography showed a giant aneurysm in the left main coronary artery. The patient was submitted to coronary artery bypass grafting and remains asymptomatic after a one-year follow-up.
