| Abstract: | The case of a 40-year-old male patient with a coronary aneurysm of the proximal left descending artery (LAD) combined with circumferential type-A dissection of the ascending aorta is reported. Computed tomography angiography of the coronary arteries was performed using multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) with retrospective ECG gating. Anatomical relations of the LAD aneurysm as well as the origin of the left coronary artery from the false lumen of the dissection were well depicted for planning of the surgical intervention using this new noninvasive imaging modality.
