Diagnosis of a giant coronary aneurysm with multiple imaging modalities.
Echocardiography demonstrated an 8-cm mass adjacent to the right side of the heart in a 79-year-old man with a history of hypertension and a repaired abdominal aortic aneurysm. The results of Doppler echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging suggested the diagnosis of an unusually large coronary artery aneurysm, and this was confirmed with coronary angiography. At surgery, the 8- to 10-cm coronary aneurysm was resected, and the patient made an uneventful recovery.
