Coronary artery aneurysms are rare conditions with potentially devastating consequences. We describe the case of an athletic 40-year-old woman who received a diagnosis of giant right coronary artery aneurysm while she was undergoing a work-up for lower extremity varicose veins. She underwent successful surgical treatment without any complications. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
