A giant coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) associated with a coronary cameral fistula is an extremely rare finding. Most cases of CAAs are asymptomatic. The incidence of CAA varies between 0.3% to 5.3%. Due to advancements in diagnostic technologies, the incidence of CAA is on the rise. Even in the modern days of medical science, the clinical course of CAA is still unpredictable and the suitable timing for the treatment of CAA is still open to debate. We reported a case of a giant coronary artery aneurysm in a 38-year-old female, which was 9.4 x 9.7 x 9.2cm in size, arising from the left coronary artery, extending into the proximal circumflex, and draining into the right atrium, forming a fistula tract. The patient was diagnosed with the help of coronary computed tomography (CT) and cardiac catheterization after which surgery was performed to repair the aneurysm and fistula. Postoperatively, the patient recovered without any complication.
合并冠状动脉心腔瘘的巨大冠状动脉瘤(CAA)极为罕见。大多数冠状动脉瘤病例无症状。冠状动脉瘤的发病率在0.3%至5.3%之间。由于诊断技术的进步,冠状动脉瘤的发病率呈上升趋势。即使在现代医学时代,冠状动脉瘤的临床病程仍然不可预测,冠状动脉瘤治疗的合适时机仍存在争议。我们报告了一例38岁女性的巨大冠状动脉瘤病例,瘤体大小为9.4×9.7×9.2cm,起源于左冠状动脉,延伸至近端回旋支,并引流至右心房,形成瘘管。该患者通过冠状动脉计算机断层扫描(CT)和心导管检查得以确诊,随后进行了手术修复动脉瘤和瘘管。术后,患者康复且无任何并发症。
