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.
