Zusammenfassung:	Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a rare type of coronary artery disease. The angiographic incidence of the coronary artery aneurysm is reportedly between 1.5% to 4.9%, and it is more frequent in men. We have successfully carried out a simultaneous "coronary bypass together with aneurysm ligation" operation on a patient with coronary heart disease and an aneurysm within the right coronary artery.
