Giant coronary artery aneurysms are exceedingly rare. Symptoms are vague and often related to myocardial ischaemia or compression of a cardiac chamber. Surgery is indicated when obstruction to the circulation results in heart failure or syncope, as in our case. A clear elucidation of the pathology may not be possible before exploration and the surgical strategy is tailored to the individual case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
