“…Especially for patients with normal distal vessels, coronary artery bypass grafting is the preferred treatment [1,2] . According to the summary of all cases with CAA calci cation and stenosis [2,10,12,13,22,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] (Table 1), surgical treatment based on CABG can effectively solve the problem of CAA calci cation and stenosis. Unfortunately, all reports have no long-term follow-up results.…”

Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) has been increasingly reported in recent years. The symptoms are related to myocardial ischemia, such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, sudden death and congestive heart failure. This report describes a case of a giant CAA with calcification and stenosis involving two coronary arteries, and the patient underwent a complete arterialized coronary artery bypass graft. After 3 months of follow-up, it was found that the radial artery graft was occluded. In this report, all cases related to CAA with calcification and stenosis are summarized. According to the data, the following conclusions can be drawn: CAA seem to be more common in men; Kawasaki disease is likely to be a causative factor in some patients with asymptomatic CAA involving calcification and stenosis; CABG is a feasible treatment option for CAA with calcification and stenosis.

“…Coronary artery aneurysms in children and adolescents are often associated with Kawasaki’s disease [2]. There are numerous potential causes in adults, including atherosclerosis, stent implantation, vasculitis, autoimmune diseases, familial hypercholesterolaemia and blunt force chest injury [3].…”

Giant coronary artery aneurysms are an infrequent finding. They are typically discovered incidentally, rarely presenting with any symptoms. We present the case of a 72-year-old gentleman who presented with an ST elevated myocardial infarction. On investigation, the gentleman was found to have a giant right coronary artery aneurysm which was partially filled with a fresh thrombus. The thrombus occluded the RCA, triggering the myocardial infarction which leads to this gentleman’s presentation to a tertiary cardiac centre. The gentleman underwent a successful resection of the aneurysm and coronary artery bypass graft over the RCA lesion with a saphenous vein conduit. This gentleman has since been discharged from hospital after an uncomplicated postoperative course.
