Abstract

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.
