Why the study?
Giant coronary artery aneurysms are uncommon, their association with ischemic symptoms is even rarer, and treatment can be challenging.
Coronary artery bypass grafting can provide effective symptom relief in rare cases of symptomatic giant coronary artery aneurysms due to Kawasaki disease in elderly patients.
May prompt Kawasaki consideration in elderly giant aneurysms; leaves open evidence-based management strategies.
We describe a rare case of coronary artery aneurysms due to Kawasaki disease in an elderly patient. Our case presents multiple giant coronary artery aneurysms affecting the left coronary system which is less common compared with right coronary aneurysms. Giant coronary artery aneurysms are uncommon; even more rare is their association with ischemic symptoms, and treatment can be challenging. We describe a case of symptomatic multiple coronary artery aneurysms with symptom relief after coronary artery bypass grafting in an elderly patient.
