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.

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.
