A large (40-mm) circular structure in the right atrioventricular groove was detected by transthoracic echocardiography and was diagnosed as a giant aneurysm of the right coronary artery. Through invasive mapping by a guide extension catheter, the aneurysm could be excluded by implantation of 3 overlapping stent grafts. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
