Descrição

A 63-year-old male, with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and atrial fibrillation, presented with complaints of typical angina. The electrocardiogram and transthoracic echocar diogram were unremarkable. He began antianginal drugs and was referred for an elective coronary angiography that showed multiple giant aneurysms on both coronary arteries (Figure 1, panels A and B). A computed tomography coronary angiography was performed confirming the presence of multiple coronary aneurysms, the largest on the right coronary artery (RCA, 45 mm), followed by the left anterior descendant (LAD, 17 mm) and circumflex (Cx, 15 mm) arteries (Figure 1, panel C).
