Case Report: Surgical management of traumatic giant coronary artery pseudoaneurysm with pericardial patch repair and ostium isolation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: There is limited literature regarding cases of giant coronary artery aneurysms (GCAAs), and instances of giant coronary artery pseudoaneurysms caused by trauma are exceedingly rare. Here is a case presentation of an adult male who developed a giant coronary artery pseudoaneurysm following trauma. Successful surgical intervention was performed, involving repair of the aneurysmal opening with a pericardial patch and isolation of the right coronary artery ostium into the aortic root. One month postoperatively, a follow-up transthoracic echocardiogram revealed thrombotic occlusion within the residual lumen of the right coronary artery aneurysm, with contiguous echogenicity extending from the aortic sinus to the right coronary artery.
