Coronary angiography revealed a giant coronary artery aneurysm (20x40 mm in size) on the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) with massive thrombus obstructing the distal coronary flow (A). Due to high thrombus burden and the lack of coronary blood flow distal to enurysm, thrombolytic therapy was performed with 10 mg intracoronary bolus and 90 mg intravenous infusion of tissue type plasminogen activator. A control coronary 
angiography 12 hours after thrombolytic therapy showed partial lysis of the thrombus burden providing a TIMI III fl ow in the first diagonal artery (B) and TIMI 0-I flow in the distal LAD (C).
