Giant coronary artery aneurysms are exceedingly rare. Symptoms are vague and often related to myocardial ischaemia or compression of a cardiac chamber. Surgery is indicated when obstruction to the circulation results in heart failure or syncope, as in our case. A clear elucidation of the pathology may not be possible before exploration and the surgical strategy is tailored to the individual case.
