Abstract
Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a relatively rare condition characterized by abnormal segmental dilatation of the coronary arteries. While many cases of CAA are asymptomatic, symptoms can vary based on the location, size, and extent of the aneurysmal segment. CAA may present with angina, myocardial infarction, or thromboembolic events, complicating its management. Treatment strategies are not well established and are usually directed by the severity of coronary artery obstruction. We present the case of a 53-year-old male with anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI) who was incidentally found to have CAA and was successfully managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) under intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance.
