Abstract
Abstract
Background
Coronary artery fistula refers to an abnormal communication between a coronary artery and great vessel, a cardiac chamber or other structure. The left circumflex artery (LCX) pericardia fistula combined with huge pseudoaneurysm is extremely rare.
Case presentation
A 39-year-old young female was admitted into our hospital because of palpitation and shortness of breath. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) showed a huge pseudoaneurysm located in pericardium. Coronary angiography revealed the LCX pericardia fistula. Then surgical treatment was performed. She was in good condition without complications after surgery.
Conclusions
Coronary artery fistula combined with pseudoaneurysm can be caused by congenital factors. Early surgical treatment can relieve the patient's symptoms and prevent the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events.
