Rare case of a giant thrombosed left anterior descending coronary artery aneurysm.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are rare, and giant CAAs are even rarer. The pathophysiology of this phenomenon is still unknown.

Case presentation

Herein, we present the case of a 49-year-old male with a giant aneurysm in the left anterior descending artery.

Conclusions

The optimal treatment for CAAs is debatable, but surgical intervention is preferred for giant CAAs.
