Abstract
We report the case of a young patient with a recent diagnosis of Behçet disease, in whom the left anterior descending coronary artery was found fully open into a giant pseudoaneurysm, with occlusion of the distal segment. Surgical treatment included opening of the pseudoaneurysm with clot and fibrous tissue removal, proximal left anterior descending coronary artery closure, and distal left anterior descending coronary artery grafting. In patients with Behçet disease, it is advisable to perform computed tomography coronary angiography to rule out the presence of coronary artery disease and the occurrence of a rare but potentially life-threatening complication.
