[Large coronary aneurysm after coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction; report of a case].
A 59-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of angina pectoris and a large right coronary aneurysm. Two years previously, he underwent percutaneous coronary balloon angioplasty for a stenotic lesion in right coronary artery (RCA) #3. Angiography and computed tomography showed a large right coronary aneurysm. On-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), ligation of RCA proximal and distal to the aneurysm, resection of the aneurysm was performed successfully. Postoperative course was uneventful with satisfactory angiographic results.
