Repair of an aneurysm of the left main coronary artery.

Coronary artery aneurysms are rare, especially in the left main coronary artery. Coronary artery aneurysms may rupture or cause myocardial infarction. There are only a few reports of coronary artery aneurysms of the left main coronary artery treated surgically. We report a case in which an arterial graft from the internal iliac (hypogastric) artery was used for the reconstruction of a congenital coronary artery aneurysm of the left main coronary artery. After a follow-up of 5 years, the patient is well and in good condition.
