## TL;DR

A rare case of a giant right coronary artery aneurysm was successfully treated with bypass surgery and aneurysm reconstruction.

## Contribution

A successful combined surgical approach for treating coronary artery aneurysm and heart disease is reported.

## Key findings

- A patient with coronary heart disease and a giant RCA aneurysm underwent successful combined surgery.
- The procedure involved simultaneous coronary bypass and aneurysmal reconstruction.

## Abstract

One kind of coronary artery disease that is uncommon is coronary artery aneurysm (CAA). According to angiographic reports, the incidence of coronary artery aneurysms ranges from 1.5% to 4.9%, with a higher frequency in men. A patient with both coronary heart disease and an aneurysm in the right coronary artery (RCA) underwent a successful simultaneous coronary bypass together with an aneurysmal reconstruction procedure.
