We report the successful management of a gigantic circumflex coronary artery aneurysm with fistulisation into the coronary sinus. Transoesophageal echocardiography allowed continuous visualisation of ventricular wall motion during dissection and closure of the aneurysm whilst operating on cardiopulmonary bypass on the beating heart.

Key Words: Coronary artery surgery • Circumflex coronary artery • Aneurysm • Coronary sinus • Fistula • Transoesophageal echocardiography
