Coronary artery aneurysms are an uncommon disease whose incidence ranges from 0.3% to 5.3%. The right coronary artery is affected in 40-70% of cases. Percutaneous coronary angioplasty is among causative factors, in particular with stent implantation. We present a case of large post-angioplasty aneurysm of the right coronary artery requiring surgical correction.

Congenital coronary artery anomalies, including anomalous origin of a coronary artery, can manifest as life-threatening conditions, such as myocardial infarction or arrhythmia, and may even lead to sudden death associated with specific congenital anatomical features. Such arteries can also develop atherosclerotic lesions. This report describes the case of a 75-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital due to exertional dyspnea. The right coronary artery was found to originate from the left coronary sinus and exhibit tight stenosis due to atherosclerosis, causing effort angina pectoris. This case highlights the fact that coronary artery anomalies can cause angina pectoris via both atherosclerotic and nonatherosclerotic effects, and successful revascularization was achieved noninvasively via percutaneous coronary angioplasty.
