Popis: A 69-year-old man with a history of coronary artery ectasia, potentially resulting from an underlying heritable connective tissue disorder, presented with ventricular fibrillation. Despite medical management of ischemia, he developed recurrent ventricular tachycardia with poor neurological recovery. We highlight challenges in the management of coronary artery ectasia. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
