First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Although the coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are not uncommon, giant aneurysms are rare. Clinical presentation, prognosis and management of giant CAA are not well defined due to limited experience. Recently, there are increasing reports suggesting the occurrence of CAA as a complication of drug eluting stent implantation and angioplasty. Therefore, there is a need to report present case and review the available literature to remind, update and discuss this anomaly for better awareness, understanding and management especially in view of the expected increase in their incidence.
