Abstract
Left main (LM) coronary artery aneurysm is rare and usually found incidentally during coronary angiography. Except for rare Kawasaki disease, iatrogenic and mycotic aneurysms, atherosclerosis is the primary cause of coronary aneurysm. In most clinical scenarios, coronary artery disease is accompanied with LM coronary aneurysm. Although coronary artery aneurysm does not confer added risk in patients with coexisting obstructive coronary artery disease, LM coronary aneurysm itself remains a significant clinical concern. Thrombosis and distal embolization are the most likely reasons to cause morbidities. Aggressive surgical treatment should be considered. Here, we report a 65-year-old man presenting with effort angina. LM coronary aneurysm was noted in coronary angiogram and images including computed tomography, transesophageal echocardiography and operative photography were presented.
