Three vessel coronary cameral fistulae associated with new onset atrial fibrillation and angina pectoris.

Project description:Coronary cameral fistulas are abnormal communications between a coronary artery and a heart chamber or a great vessel which are reported in less than 0.1% of patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. All three major coronary arteries are even less frequently involved in fistula formation as it is the case in our patient. A 68-year-old woman was admitted to cardiology clinic with complaints of exertional dyspnea and angina for two years and a new onset palpitation. Standard 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed atrial fibrillation (AF) with a ventricular rate of 114 beat/minute and accompanying T wave abnormalities and minimal ST-depression on lateral derivations. Transthoracic echocardiographic examination was normal except for diastolic dysfunction, minimally mitral regurgitation, and mild to moderate enlargement of the left atrium. Sinus rhythm was achieved by medical cardioversion with amiodarone infusion. Coronary angiography revealed diffuse and multiple coronary-left ventricle fistulas originating from the distal segments of both left and right coronary arterial systems without any stenosis in epicardial coronary arteries. The patient's symptoms resolved almost completely with medical therapy. High volume shunts via coronary artery to left ventricular microfistulas may lead to increased volume overload and subsequent increase in end-diastolic pressure of the left ventricle and may cause left atrial enlargement.

Noncompaction cardiomyopathy and multiple coronary-cameral fistulae in an octogenarian.

Project description:An 85-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department with chest pain. His electrocardiogram showed a right bundle branch block as well as increased voltages suggesting left ventricular hypertrophy and t-wave inversions consistent with a strain pattern (versus ischemia). He underwent echocardiography which showed regional noncompaction and associated hypokinesis. These findings led to coronary angiography which revealed multiple coronary-cameral fistulae involving all three coronary arteries. He was initially treated for acute coronary syndrome but after his diagnostic procedures this was narrowed to a beta blocker, to reduce myocardial oxygen demand, and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor due to the cardiomyopathy. Although the fistulae may have caused the patient's chest pain, intervention was not possible due to the diffuse nature of the fistulae. He did well in follow-up without the development of heart failure symptoms or continued angina. <Learning objective: Noncompaction cardiomyopathy and coronary cameral fistulae are two rare disorders that have even more rarely been described in a single patient. They may be a part of a spectrum of a single disease that results from arrest of the normal sequence of embryologic development of the heart. The management of the two conditions includes aspects of standard heart failure care as well as medical and possibly interventional therapy for coronary ischemia (angina) related to fistulae.>.

Fountains in the heart-biventricular coronary cameral fistulae and bilateral coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistulae.

Project description:We describe about an elderly male presented to us with effort intolerance. He was diagnosed to have multiple coronary cameral fistulae and coronary pulmonary fistulae that gives an appearance of "Fountains In The Heart". Such a combined existence of biventricular coronary cameral fistulae and bilateral coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistulae is an unforeseen entity that has never been described before in an individual.

Wellens' syndrome and finding of multiple coronary cameral fistulae: Is it time to discard this term?

Project description:Wellens' syndrome refers to electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities in the precordial T-wave segment, which are associated with critical stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. According to medical literature, this ECG abnormality is of paramount importance because this syndrome represents a preinfarction stage of coronary artery disease; however, same ECG pattern can also be seen in other conditions. Coronary fistula occurs due to anomalous communications between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or other vessel in the vicinity of the heart. We report a case of multiple coronary artery fistulae to the left ventricle in a 74-year-old woman who had a 2-year history of intermittent atypical chest pain and exercise dyspnea with positive criteria mimicking Wellens' syndrome without coronary atherosclerosis.
