چکیده
A 31-year-old patient with symptoms suggesting acute myocardial infarction and subsequently found to have a large aneurysm of the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery is presented. This is thought to represent the first patient treated by resection and grafting of a coronary artery aneurysm by use of an interposed saphenous vein graft.
