Multiple diffuse coronary cameral fistulas from the left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery to both the right and left ventricle associated with left ventricular noncompaction: A rare combination.

ABSTRACT: Diffuse and multiple coronary cameral fistulas are very rare and with very few case reports of its association with left ventricular noncompaction are published. Here, we report a 6-year-old child of multiple diffuse coronary cameral fistulas to both the right and left ventricle in association with the left ventricular noncompaction. A possible common embryological link between the two uncommon entities is also discussed.

Coronary-Cameral Fistula Connecting the Left Anterior Descending Artery and the First Obtuse Marginal Artery to the Left Ventricle: A Rare Finding.

Project description:Coronary-cameral fistulas are rare congenital malformations, often incidentally found during cardiac catheterizations. The majority of these fistulas are congenital in nature but can be acquired secondary to trauma or invasive cardiac procedures. These fistulas most commonly originate in the right coronary artery and terminate into the right ventricle and least frequently drain into the left ventricle. Depending upon their size and location, coronary-cameral fistulas can lead to congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, and bacterial endocarditis. We describe a case of 49-year-old woman who presented with worsening exertional dyspnea and leg swelling. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed an ejection fraction of 35%. Cardiac catheterization demonstrated a fistula connecting the left anterior descending artery and the first obtuse marginal artery to the left ventricle. In this report, the authors provide a concise review on coronary fistulas, complications, and management options.

Anomalous right coronary artery originating from the mid left anterior descending artery.

Project description:A 68-year-old male with a history of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia presented with recurrent episodes of chest discomfort. A 12-lead ECG and an echocardiogram were normal. A myocardial perfusion study could not rule out ischemia in the inferior wall. At coronary angiography using the transradial approach, the right coronary artery (RCA) could not be visualized. Angiography of the left coronary system demonstrated non-obstructive atherosclerosis involving the mid segment of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and a normal circumflex (Cx) artery. The RCA originated from the mid LAD segment distal to the first septal perforator and the first diagonal branch and was free of atherosclerosis disease. A contrast-enhanced 64-slice multi-detector cardiac computed tomography showed that the LAD was severely calcified in the proximal part, and the RCA coursed anterior to the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) to reach the right atrioventricular groove. The patient was managed medically and became asymptomatic.

Right coronary artery-left ventricular fistula with giant right coronary artery of diffuse ectasia: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary artery fistula complicated with giant coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a rare cardiac malformation, and its surgical indications and treatment strategies still need further discussion.Case summaryIn this case, a 41-year-old man had complained of occasional dizziness for 2 years, but he did not seek medical attention until he started to feel palpitations. A right coronary artery (RCA)-left ventricular (LV) fistula with giant RCA of diffuse ectasia was firstly revealed by transthoracic echocardiography. A widened left ventricle and significantly constricted right atrium and right ventricle were also detected by three-dimensional coronary artery computed tomography. Surgical treatment, including the repair of the RCA-LV fistula, the resection and reconstruction of the dilated RCA and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) under hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, were performed to correct the malformation. The patient presented a favourable health condition without any discomfort at the 1-year follow-up.DiscussionCAE can be caused by various congenital or acquired factors. Surgical treatment, such as transcatheter embolization excision, surgical ligation or resection for symptomatic patients with CAE three times or larger than the reference diameter, has been reported to have satisfactory results. Additionally, CABG can be selected if myocardial perfusion is compromised and the distal branch is of reasonable size. In this case, the giant ectasia of the RCA may have been a consequence of the congenital RCA-LV fistula. Atherosclerosis, with calcified plaques in the RCA, and the patient's long-term history of smoking may have contributed to the development of giant ectasia of the RCA.

Left anterior descending/right coronary artery bifurcation angioplasty in a rare case of single coronary artery: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundSingle coronary artery (SCA) is a rare congenital coronary anomaly with incidence of 8-66 per 100 000 cases. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with SCA is technically challenging. This is a case of bifurcation angioplasty involving left anterior descending/right coronary artery (LAD/RCA) in a patient with SCA and 1-year follow-up with computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA).Case summaryA 52-year-old female with history of PCI to LAD 4 months back, presented with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiogram showed 90% stenosis in mid-LAD, distal to the previous stent and proximal to an anomalously originating RCA from mid-LAD. She was planned for LAD/RCA provisional bifurcation angioplasty and a drug-eluting stent was deployed in LAD across RCA, following which patient developed angina with ischaemic electrocardiogram (ECG) changes due to significant pinching of RCA. Using Reverse crush technique, RCA was stented successfully with resolution of angina and ECG changes. At 1-year follow-up, patient is in New York Heart Association class I with normal left ventricular function and patent LAD/RCA bifurcation stent on CTCA.DiscussionSCA poses a great challenge to interventional cardiologists during PCI, especially in the event of a complication. Detailed anatomical knowledge, appropriate hardware and operator expertise are the key factors for successful PCI of SCA. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case report of bifurcation angioplasty of LAD/RCA in a rare case of SCA. This case also describes the use of reverse crush technique as a bailout strategy during provisional bifurcation angioplasty.

Left main-like bifurcation primary percutaneous coronary intervention case report: anomalous right coronary artery ostium from the left anterior descending.

Project description:BackgroundA single coronary artery ostium (SCAO) is estimated to be present in 0.066% of the general population. The proximal coronary course and the relationship with surrounding structures are related to malignant vs. benign prognoses. We present a case of SCAO with the right coronary artery (RCA) arising from the mid-left anterior descending (LAD), complicated by anterior and inferior STEMI because of acute thrombotic occlusion at the bifurcation and its percutaneous management.Case summaryA 56-year-old male was admitted with sudden onset of resting chest pain. His ECG showed an anterior, inferior, and right ventricular STEMI. Via trans-radial access, coronary angiography showed significant stenoses at the left main and the circumflex but also a thrombotic occlusion at the proximal segment of the LAD while no RCA was seen. After crossing the LAD occlusion, the dominant RCA appeared from the mid-LAD. A provisional stent technique was performed achieving good results. Coronary computed tomography angiography showed an SCAO congenital anomaly with a patent stent in the bifurcation accompanied by diffuse coronary artery disease causing mild stenosis of the left main, proximal, and distal circumflex.DiscussionThe RCA arising from the mid-LAD with pre-pulmonic course has been described in only 37 cases. One reported an LAD/RCA bifurcation treatment with two stents technique in a stable scenario. The present is the first case reported of an acute thrombotic occlusion of an LAD/RCA bifurcation clinically resulting in a left main equivalent STEMI treated successfully with primary percutaneous coronary intervention using a bifurcation technique.

Percutaneous coronary intervention to left anterior descending artery/right coronary artery bifurcation: this is not a typo! A case report.

Project description:BackgroundAnomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) is a rare congenital anomaly. A single coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva, with the RCA originating from the left anterior descending artery (LAD), is extremely rare. We report the case of an anomalous origin of the RCA from the mid LAD with a significant bifurcation lesion, in the setting of an acute coronary syndrome, endangering both the RCA and LAD territories.Case summaryAn 85-year-old female presented with a non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome. Transradial coronary angiography revealed an anomalous origin of the RCA arising from the mid LAD beyond a large first septal perforator. There was significant stenosis involving anomalous RCA/LAD bifurcation classified as Medina 1, 1, 1. Following discussion at heart team meeting, she underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention. The LAD/RCA bifurcation was treated using a two-stent culotte technique without any complications. Computed tomography coronary angiogram was performed which confirmed a benign course of the anomalous RCA anterior to aorta and pulmonary artery.DiscussionThis anomaly poses a significant challenge in revascularization due to the large area of myocardium subtended by the LAD and RCA and usually an acute angle of bifurcation. Moreover, CTCA can be useful to ascertain the course of anomalous RCA.

Infective Endocarditis of the Left Main to Right Atrial Coronary Cameral Fistula.

Project description:A 7-year-old female child presented with pyrexia of unknown origin. She had received an empirical regimen of antibiotic for possible endocarditis. Evaluation included multiple imaging supports and blood culture. She had left main coronary artery to right atrium coronary cameral fistula, restricted patent ductus arteriosus, vegetation at the right atrial exit of fistula and negative blood culture. Ongoing fever more than 2 weeks, oscillating vegetation in the echo and histopathological evidence of healing vegetation suggested definite diagnosis of infective endocarditis. She was treated successfully by surgical closure of fistula from the right atrial approach. Device closure in this case would have resulted in a large residual cul-de-sac with or without tiny residual high-velocity jets, either being a threat for future enlargement, rupture of the residual aneurysmal sac, thromboembolism, prolonged anticoagulation, and infective endocarditis.

Atypical type of dual left anterior descending coronary artery.

Project description:Dual left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) is a rare coronary anomaly and is divided into six subgroups in the literature according to the origin and course of the short and long branches of the anomalous artery. We present two distinct cases of dual LAD which are distinguished by two branches of equal length from their counterparts in the literature. <Learning objective: In our cases a novel dual LAD variant is presented with two main branches of equal length and reaches the cardiac apex. Cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons should be aware of these variants to avoid misinterpretation of coronary angiography and intraoperative complications.>.
