Abstract

Here, we present a case of a 26-year-old gentleman who presented with a rare combination of bilateral huge subclavian artery aneurysms, coarctation of the aorta with a large coronary artery collateral and a bovine aortic arch. Various mediastinal collaterals have been described in previous cases of coarctation of the aorta, but the association of coronary collaterals is a rare occurrence. To the best of our knowledge, this case has not been reported in literature yet.

Keywords: bilateral; coronary collateral; subclavian artery aneurysms.
