Percutaneous Closure of a Fistulous Giant Coronary Aneurysm

Abstract

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.
