title: Left circumflex artery aneurysm: the end-to-end reconstruction.
abstract: This report describes a surgical myocardial revascularization procedure for a huge, atherosclerotic left circumflex coronary artery aneurysm. The technique proposed in this paper is based on the isolation of the aneurysm followed by the aneurysmectomy and a complete reconstruction of the circumflex artery by an end-to-end anastomosis.
