Abstract
Several causes of acute respiratory insufficiency have been reported in the literature. We describe a case in which it was caused by a rare combination of a giant right coronary artery aneurysm with fistula that occurred in a 56-year-old woman with concomitant congenital hypothyroidism. Diagnostic tools, differential diagnosis, surgical techniques, and follow-up at 1 year are discussed.
