We present the case of successful resection of a giant aneurysm of the
LAD
presenting with recurrent severe
haemoptysis
in a 72-year old man. He was admitted to a regional hospital with fever, recurrent bloody sputum, weight loss and left sided chest pain, and developed respiratory failure requiring ventilation. Investigations are summarised and reviewed and the diagnosis was eventually reached by TTE, CT and MRI scans, confirmed by coronary angiography. Successful emergency surgery to resect the aneurysm and put a vein graft to the
LAD
is described. The presentation and management of coronary giant aneurysm is reviewed.
