Surgical management of a gigantic circumflex coronary artery aneurysm with fistulous connection to the coronary sinus.

Transoesophageal echocardiography allowed continuous visualisation of ventricular wall motion during dissection and closure of the aneurysm whilst operating on cardiopulmonary bypass on the beating heart.
