Giant traumatic coronary artery pseudoaneurysm is extremely rare, and very few cases of traumatic coronary artery aneurysm have been previously reported. We present a case of an asymptomatic, giant, traumatic right coronary artery pseudoaneurysm caused by blunt chest trauma and sternal fracture. The risk of rupture or peripheral embolization remains unclear, but we believe that pseudoaneurysm resection and coronary artery bypass grafting are adequate procedures for preventing rupture or ischemia.
