Abstract
- A 68-year-old woman exhibited an increasingly protruding mass on the left heart border on chest X-ray. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an echo-free mass in the anterior pericardial space. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed blood flow from the proximal left anterior descending coronary into a large coronary artery aneurysm measuring 61 mm × 51 mm in diameter and a quadricuspid aortic valve with a small cusp between the left and right coronary cusps. Coronary angiography demonstrated the presence of a coronary aneurysm connected to the proximal left coronary anterior descending artery. A giant coronary artery aneurysm and pulmonary artery fistulas extending from the left and right coronary arteries were confirmed by surgeons and successfully treated with surgery.
