Sumario: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.
