  • Abstract
    We report our approach to an unusual case of a 64-year-old man with multiple coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) of the right, left anterior descending, and ramus coronary arteries. The right CAA was unusually large in size (measuring 5.5 cm). The aneurysms were obstructive, resulting in ischemic heart disease and heart failure. Multiple surgical techniques have been proposed to approach CAAs; however the ideal treatment strategy is poorly defined. This patient underwent successful revascularization using a combination of strategies, including aneurysm ligation, interposition reversed saphenous vein grafting, and bypass grafting. Surgical approach should be determined by aneurysm size, presence of branching vessels, and degree of stenosis.
