The coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is not a frequent condition in the catheterization laboratory. The management is uncertain. Most of the cases, the treatment is surgical with good results. In smaller aneurysm, the use of covered stents is an alternative. This is an anterograde approach CTO (chronic total occlusion) case of a middle segment RCA (right coronary artery) with a thrombosed coronary aneurysm. This was occluded due to thrombus as a result of a STEMI five months ago. In this case, we used a covered stent with good results in follow up to five months.

Kawasaki disease, traditionally classified as medium vessel vasculitis, is known for the preferential involvement of coronary arteries. Infrequently, large systemic arteries might be involved and may affect the prognosis. Here, we present an infant with Kawasaki disease who had extensive involvement of large vessels such as the abdominal aorta and medium vessels of the extremities, along with giant coronary artery aneurysms.

Objective: We present our experience with endovascular Bentall procedure (Endo-Bentall) using a modular valve conduit (Endo-Bentall) in high-risk patients with aortic root pathologies.
Methods: The physician constructed Endo-Bentall device is composed of a self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve (TAVR), aortic endovascular stent graft (TEVAR), and two wire-reinforced fenestrations for coronary artery stenting. The TAVR valve is sutured into an appropriately sized TEVAR graft.

Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing, systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that affects blood vessels of all sizes, potentially leading to severe complications such as coronary artery aneurysms. This report describes the case of a 33-year-old woman with BD who presented with recurrent chest pain. Imaging revealed a large saccular aneurysm in the left anterior descending artery.
