Coronary artery fistula draining into the left ventricle.

Project description:We present a case of 48-year-old male who presented with coronary artery fistula draining into left ventricle. Transthoracic echocardiography showed abnormal blood flow draining into left ventricle, with enlarged coronary arteries and multiple vascular structures around ventricular myocardium. Coronary computed tomography revealed dilatation of entire left coronary artery which was wrapping around left ventricle, and draining into the posterior side of left ventricle. He did not undergo any invasive treatment, because he was not symptomatic.

Surgical Treatment of an Aneurysmal Coronary Artery Fistula between the Left Coronary Artery and Right Atrium: A Case Report.

Project description:A coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an abnormal vascular connection between the coronary arteries and the cardiac chambers or major vessels. Although rare, CAFs can lead to substantial coronary morbidity and mortality. This study outlines the surgical management of a CAF originating from the left coronary artery and connecting to the right atrium, in a patient experiencing angina with a marked left-to-right shunt. The surgical approach involved ligation of the coronary artery and reduction of the aneurysmal portion, resulting in the patient's uneventful recovery.

A coronary artery fistula having connection between 2 coronary arteries and the left ventricle: A case report.

Project description:RationaleCases of coronary artery fistula having a connection with the cardiac cavity are rare. Here, we report a case in which 2 coronary arteries empty into the left ventricular cavity together.Patient concernsA 63-year-old woman who was diagnosed as having hypertension 20 years prior presented with dyspnea.DiagnosesThe coronary angiography revealed coronary artery fistula.InterventionsChest X-ray showed pulmonary edema. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed moderately decreased left ventricular (LV) function and increased LV end-diastolic volume and mass index. Coronary angiography and cardiac computed tomography revealed that 2 coronary arteries joined together at the distal end and directly drained into the left ventricular cavity bypassing the myocardial capillary vessels. We started medical treatment for heart failure with an angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor, loop diuretic, and spironolactone.OutcomesThe pulmonary edema improved rapidly. The patient did not experience dyspnea after discharge, and follow-up echocardiography showed improved cardiac function.Main lessonCoronary artery fistula could be found incidentally on coronary angiography performed for varied reasons. Physicians must decide carefully whether the fistula needs to be treated in view of the clinical context.

Case Report: Percoronary device occlusion of right coronary artery fistula into left ventricle in an infant.

Project description:A 4-month-old male infant (weight 6 kg, height 67 cm) with heart failure was diagnosed with an isolated 8.9 mm right coronary artery fistula draining into the left ventricle (LV), identified via transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography angiography. The large, tortuous, and aneurysmal fistula was treated using a minimally invasive percoronary approach, avoiding the high risks of surgery and the challenges of percutaneous closure. A 10 mm muscular ventricular septal occluder was deployed successfully. At 3 months, imaging showed reduced LV size, excellent device positioning, and complete fistula occlusion without thrombus formation. By 6 months, optimal remodeling was confirmed. Over 10 years of follow-up, the patient's troponin I levels and electrocardiograms remained normal, with no ST-T abnormalities.

Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery Mimic: A Case of Coronary Artery to Pulmonary Artery Fistula.

Project description:Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are rare coronary anomalies involving the communication of an epicardial coronary artery and another cardiovascular structure. CAFs are usually easily distinguished from nearby coronary arteries. Here, we report a unique case of CAF that mimics the size, branching pattern, and appearance of a native epicardial left anterior descending artery.

Project description:We report on a 2-week-old infant with huge left main coronary artery-to-right ventricular outflow tract fistula causing myocardial ischemia due to global coronary steal who was successfully submitted to percutaneous closure guided by a 3-dimensional-printed model using a duct-occluder vascular plug. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

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.

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.
