Here we present a case of an asymptomatic patient with a giant coronary artery aneurysm developed in the context of diffuse coronary artery ectasia. Giant coronary artery aneurysm was complicated by the presence of a large thrombus. The heart team settled for surgical treatment of the lesion. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
