ABSTRACT
Coronary artery aneurysms and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are seldom encountered in clinical practice and pose a management challenge. We describe the case of a patient diagnosed with anterior wall myocardial infarction with a complete occluded left main coronary artery (LMCA). After the establishment of partial blood flow within the LMCA was achieved, a 6 x10 mm aneurysm was discovered in the LMCA. To the best of our knowledge, this case appears to be the first successful percutaneous treatment of a completely obstructed aneurysmal LMCA.
