“…Treatment strategies include surgical approach, percutaneous covering stenting, and medical management [2]. Surgical intervention may be considered when the aneurysm dilates more than 2.5 cm, when there is an intramural thrombus, or when there are complications such as fistula formation, compression of the cardiac chambers, and rapidly increasing size of the aneurysm [2,7,8]. CAAs with a diameter less than 10 mm, a straight lesion vessel, and located in the proximal vessel may benefit more from stenting [9].…”

Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are uncommon in coronary angiography, and left main coronary artery aneurysms are rare. There is no consensus for the treatment of CAAs. A young patient with left coronary artery aneurysm diagnosed by coronary angiography and with recurrent acute myocardial infarction was treated with rivaroxaban and aspirin. The patient had no angina for 6 months. Novel oral anticoagulants combined with antiplatelet agents may be appropriate for the treatment of CAAs.

We have recently read with great interest the article by Teng P et al. entitled "Giant right coronary artery aneurysm mimicking a right intra-ventricular mass: a case report". We appreciate the authors for their reports describing the treatment of a giant right coronary aneurysm mimicking a right intra-ventricular mass. On the other hand, we believe that there are some major drawbacks that need to be addressed.

As in this case report, percutaneous intervention may cause complications in patients with thrombosed giant coronary aneurysms if distal vascular beds are not seen.…”
