Clinical-Medical Image

The patient was a 70-year-old woman. She was brought to the emergency room with shock vitals after requesting emergency care due to chest discomfort. CT showed pericardial effusion and CAG showed giant coronary artery aneurysm in the LAD region (Figure 1(A)). The patient underwent emergency surgery with a diagnosis of ruptured coronary artery aneurysm. The operative findings showed a giant coronary artery aneurysm in the LAD region (Figure 1(B)) and the aneurysm was sutured through an incision under cardiac arrest (Figure 1(C)). Postoperative CAG showed that the aneurysm had disappeared (Figure 1(D)) and the patient was discharged from the hospital uneventful. Although ACS due to thromboembolism is a well-known cause of coronary artery aneurysms, the frequency of rupture cases is rather low and intraoperative imaging findings are relatively rare, so we report this case here.
