Abstract

Giant coronary artery aneurysms (GCAAs) are rare cardiovascular malformations that necessitate a multimodal, interdisciplinary diagnostic and individualized interventional approach. This report describes the case of a young, healthy patient with an idiopathic GCAA with pseudoaneurysmal protrusion into the right atrium that caused syncope, cardiac decompensation, and arrhythmia, which subsided postoperatively.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
