Eighteen Years of Follow-up after Resection of a Giant Coronary Artery Aneurysm and Reconstruction with a Vein Graft

Abstract

Giant coronary artery aneurysms are rare and challenging to treat because of variation in the presenting symptoms and the lack of established management guidelines. We report the case of a patient with a 6-cm-wide giant coronary artery aneurysm that was resected, followed by reconstruction using a saphenous vein graft and 18 years of follow-up.
