A 67-year-old man well while receiving steroid therapy for giant cell arteritis, developed symptoms of ischemic heart disease and was found to have critical left main coronary stenosis. An aortic biopsy at the time of bypass grafting revealed giant cell aortitis. We discuss the finding of clinically discordant aortitis; the etiology of the concurrent coronary stenosis and therapy with prednisone-dapsone.
