Giant coronary artery aneurysms larger than 50 mm are rare and associated with important complications: namely, rupture. Its workup requires comprehensive imaging and standard treatment is surgical exclusion. We present a 60-year-old patient with previous ostium secundum atrial septal defect surgical closure diagnosed with a giant proximal right coronary artery aneurysm (70 x 62 mm) fistulizing into the right atrium. Percutaneous closure of its aortic origin with an atrial septal occluder was successfully performed, and thrombosis of the aneurysm confirmed on angiography and echocardiogram. This case depicts an innovative, minimally invasive approach to this worrisome entity.
巨大冠状动脉瘤大于 50 毫米是罕见的,并与重要的并发症相关:即破裂。其检查需要全面的影像学检查,标准治疗是手术排除。我们介绍一位 60 岁的患者,既往有继发孔房间隔缺损的外科封堵术,诊断为巨大的近端右冠状动脉瘤(70x62mm),瘘入右心房。经皮用房间隔封堵器成功地封闭其主动脉起源处,并且在血管造影和超声心动图上证实了动脉瘤的血栓形成。这个病例描述了一种针对这种令人担忧实体的创新的、微创的方法。
