Abstract
Aneurysmal coronary artery disease (ACAD) is an uncommon disease. The majority of the cases are detected accidentally by diagnostic coronary angiography during the evaluation of symptoms which developed due to myocardial ischemia. Although the relation between ACAD and myocardial ischemia was reported previously, there is no knowledge about whether ACAD itself or ACAD related myocardial ischemia are associated with development of conduction system disorder. In this case report, a patient with ACAD and who developed atrioventricular block that required pacemaker implantation is reported.
