- Abstract
Background: Coronary artery aneurysm represents a challenging and potentially fatal disease. Aim and Material Methods: We present the case of a giant right coronary artery aneurysm treated surgically after percutaneous intervention and fracture of the stent. Results and Discussion: The aneurism was opened and the coronary ligated proximally and distally. It was not possible to re‐established continuity of the coronary artery or perform a bypass graft. An early surgical strategy would have re‐established blood flow in the involved coronary artery and avoided chronic ischemia of the supplied myocardial territory.
