Giant aneurysm of right coronary artery: A case report and review of literature

Abstract

Coronary artery aneurysms are seen in 1.5-5% of patients presenting for coronary angiography, but giant aneurysms, defined as being greater than 2 cm in diameter, are rare. Clinical presentation, prognosis and management of giant coronary artery aneurysm are not well defined due to limited experience, so each case is a learning tool in itself. We report the rare case of a 56-year-old female patient who presented to us with effort angina and was subsequently found to have a giant right coronary artery aneurysm with a fistulous communication to right atrium. This case describes one of the varied presentations of an ill defined and heterogeneous disease process.
