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.
