Although cardiovascular involvement in immunoglobulin G4–related disease is uncommon, it can lead to life-threatening events. We report a patient with multiple coronary aneurysms that were diagnosed by multimodal imaging. The patient had been treated with prednisolone for more than 15 years for immunoglobulin G4–related disease.
