The Surgical Management of a Giant Innominate Artery Aneurysm in a Patient With Coronary Disease: A Case Report

The innominate artery aneurysm (IAA) accounts for a small percentage of all peripheral aneurysms. However, its clinical outcomes are potentially devastating, especially when it is associated with coronary disease, due to the high risk of spontaneous rupture and thromboembolic complications.

Description
Summary:	The innominate artery aneurysm (IAA) accounts for a small percentage of all peripheral aneurysms. However, its clinical outcomes are potentially devastating, especially when it is associated with coronary disease, due to the high risk of spontaneous rupture and thromboembolic complications. Surgical repair is always recommended in such cases. The treatment of such a condition presents a surgical challenge with high morbidity and mortality rates. In this report, we discuss the case of a 56-year-old male who presented with a right cervical mass secondary to a large IAA with underlying coronary artery disease. The patient underwent a simultaneous operation for IAA and coronary bypass grafting.
