description Aortic root dilation and aortic insufficiency are prominent causes of morbidity in Marfan syndrome. These pathologies necessitate surgical repair, including aortic root and aortic valve replacement procedures, to improve prognosis. Coronary artery aneurysms, particularly giant coronary ostial aneurysms, are rare complications of these surgeries in the Marfan population. Due to the significant life-threatening sequelae of coronary artery aneurysms, it is imperative to bring attention regarding this complication to the radiologist assessing thoracic imaging in this patient population.
