Abstract
Aneurysms of the left main coronary artery are rare; the estimated inc idence is < 0.1%. They are usually associated with atherosclerotic cor onary artery disease, and are incidental discoveries at the time of ca rdiac catheterization for the evaluation of cardiac symptoms. This rep ort describes the clinical course of a patient with an isolated left m ain coronary artery aneurysm and generalized atherosclerosis.
