Why the study?
Giant coronary aneurysms are uncommon, particularly with ischemic symptoms and left coronary system involvement, making treatment challenging.
This case report highlights the rare presentation and management challenges of symptomatic giant coronary artery aneurysms due to Kawasaki disease in an elderly patient.
Management of symptomatic giant coronary aneurysms from Kawasaki disease in the elderly remains challenging; leaves open optimal strategies for this rare entity.
We present a rare case of symptomatic giant coronary artery aneurysms due to Kawasaki disease in an elderly patient. Giant coronary aneurysms are uncommon; even more is their association with ischemic symptoms and left coronary system involvement. Treatment can be challenging, and we discuss the management taken in this case.
