Abstract: We present the case of an apparently healthy 31-year-old man with malignant progression of coronary artery disease and recurrent angina resulting from suspected large vessel vasculitis. This case highlights the importance of considering vasculitis in patients without atherosclerotic risk factors, using a multidisciplinary team approach, and suppressing inflammation before coronary revascularization to improve outcomes.
