Coronary artery aneurysm is an uncommon cardiovascular disease and a standard surgical approach is still not recognized. A 58-year-old man was referred to our department, after being investigated for worsening shortness of breath and tiredness, with a diagnosis of a 70 mm right coronary artery aneurysm. Surgical excision of the aneurysm and single vein graft on the posterior descending artery was performed, with satisfactory results.
