title: [Surgical case of severe coronary artery obstructive disease with a giant coronary aneurysm; report of a case].
abstract: Coronary aneurysms in adults are rare. The natural history of such coronary aneurysms is unknown. Surgical treatment is often concomitant with the treatment of obstructive coronary lesions. However, the ideal treatment strategy is poorly defined. We herein present a case of successful treatment of a large coronary artery aneurysm with interposition of a reverse saphenous vein graft. This modality offers important benefits over other currently used surgical and percutaneous techniques, and should be considered as an effective option.
