Fig 1 (A) An echocardiogram showing a giant aneurysm arising from the origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) measures 18.0 mm (long white line). The origin of the left coronary artery (LCA), also dilated, measures 4.7 mm (short white line). The aortic root (Ao), right ventricle (RV), and the left atrium (LA) are shown. (B) A sagittal section of the magnetic resonance angiogram demonstrating a giant coronary aneurysm (white arrows) arising from the RCA. The Ao, RV, LA, and the diaphragm (Dia) are shown.
