Here, we present a case of an asymptomatic cardiac patient who previously underwent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and was being evaluated for an unrelated intraspinal tumor requiring neurosurgical excision and incidentally found to have a large pseudoaneurysm of the Left Circumflex (LCx) artery on CT coronary angiography...
