Interpretation of coronary steal syndrome and haemodynamic changes after surgical closure of coronary fistula using Doppler wire and computational fluid dynamics analysis: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary arteriovenous fistulas (CAFs) are rare but can cause myocardial ischaemia and other complications. However, the haemodynamic and physiologic characteristics of significant CAFs requiring treatment are poorly described. We report a case of CAF causing coronary steal syndrome in which haemodynamic changes were assessed before and after surgical closure using a Doppler wire and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique.

Case summary

A 51-year-old woman presented with exertional chest pain for 3 years. Progressive dyspnoea occurred with exertion. Treadmill and cardiopulmonary exercise tests showed suspicious myocardial ischaemia. Coronary angiography and contrast-enhanced coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) revealed a coronary fistula arising from the distal left main coronary artery that drained into the pulmonary artery trunk. We observed a persistent coronary steal phenomenon at baseline and during hyperaemia and a systolic dominant flow rate pattern inside the CAF by Doppler wire-based flow rate measurement. According to CFD analysis based on CCTA, low wall shear stress and a high focal oscillatory shear index were observed at the ostial sites of aneurysmal sacs in the CAF. After successful surgical closure of the CAF, the vessel sizes and flow rate distributions of the coronary arteries increased.

Discussion

Doppler wire-based flow rate distribution measurements and CFD analysis may facilitate the identification of significant coronary steal syndrome requiring closure and the evaluation of future risks of life-threatening complications such as thrombosis and rupture.

Left atrial appendage enlarged by coronary artery fistula after surgical closure of appendage.

Project description:Two years previously, a 73-year-old man with mitral regurgitation underwent mitral annuloplasty and left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion by suturing the orifice from the endocardium. However, the mitral regurgitation became exacerbated, and the left atrium enlarged rapidly over a 6-month period. Computed tomography showed a heterogenic mass in the LAA, and coronary angiography revealed a coronary artery-LAA fistula. Reoperation revealed a thrombus filling the appendage and two small orifices of the coronary artery-LAA fistula located in the endocardium of the appendage. We excised the LAA and closed these fistula orifices concomitant with mitral valve replacement.

Role of transesophageal echocardiography in surgical retrieval of embolized amplatzer device and closure of coronary-cameral fistula.

Project description:Congenital coronary artery fistula is an uncommon anomaly. Transcatheter coil embolization or Amplatzer vascular plug device closure of fistula is often done in symptomatic patients with safe accessibility to the feeding coronary artery. Embolization of Amplatzer vascular plug device is rare. We report an 11-year-old male child who presented to us with increasing shortness of breath for 7 years. He had a history of Amplatzer vascular plug device closure of right coronary-cameral fistula 8 years back. Echocardiography demonstrated a dilated aneurysmal right coronary artery with turbulent jet entering into the right ventricle (RV) and device embolized into the left pulmonary artery (LPA). Cardiac catheterization eventually confirmed the diagnosis. Surgical closure of fistula and retrieval of device was done using cardiopulmonary bypass. Intraoperatively transesophageal echocardiogram helped in localizing fistula opening in the RV below the anterior leaflet of tricuspid valve, continuous monitoring to prevent further distal embolization of the device during surgical handling, and assessment of completeness of repair of the fistula and LPA following retrieval of the device.

Rare Cause of Late Recurrent Angina following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Iatrogenic Aortocoronary Arteriovenous Fistula Causing Coronary Steal.

Project description:Iatrogenic aortocoronary arteriovenous fistula is a very rare complication of coronary artery bypass grafting in which one of the arterial grafts inadvertently forms a fistulous tract with a cardiac vein, shunting blood from the anastomosed coronary artery. We report a patient with an iatrogenic left internal mammary artery graft to cardiac vein fistula presenting with recurrent angina three years after a three-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting.

Surgical management of a giant right coronary artery aneurysm with coronary arteriovenous fistula: case report.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are uncommon, and giant aneurysms (>2 cm) are even more unusual. Coronary atherosclerosis and Kawasaki disease are the leading causes for this pathology. The treatment for this condition is controversial because the evidence is based on case report series.Case summaryWe describe the case of a 77-year-old female patient who presented with heart failure symptoms. She was diagnosed with a giant saccular aneurysm arising from the right coronary artery (RCA) ostium and a fistula between the RC and the left anterior descending artery (LAD) to the coronary sinus. And an atrial septal defect (ASD) and severe tricuspid regurgitation were also found. The patient underwent surgery through a medium sternotomy, the aneurysm was opened and resected under cardiopulmonary bypass. The RCA was ligated at the distal end of the aneurysm, and a saphenous vein graft bypass was performed. A coronary arteriovenous fistula from the distal portion of RC and LAD artery to a severely enlarged coronary sinus was found and corrected with an autologous pericardial patch. Closure of the ASD was performed with a pericardial patch and a tricuspid ring annuloplasty was done. Post-operative course was uneventful.DiscussionThere are few cases of giant coronary aneurysms associated with fistulas reported in the literature. Despite the endovascular percutaneous techniques available to treat these patients, we believe that surgical treatment was the best option for this particular case. We consider that surgical treatment is a very good option for giant CAAs associated with AV fistulas that are not susceptible for current endovascular available devices. The literature lacks evidence regarding the best approach for these cases, and we think that invasive treatment should be tailored according to the heart's anatomy and patient risk.

Algorithmic Versus Expert Human Interpretation of Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio Coronary Pressure-Wire Pull Back Data.

Project description:ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate whether algorithmic interpretation (AI) of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) pressure-wire pull back data would be noninferior to expert human interpretation.BackgroundInterpretation of iFR pressure-wire pull back data can be complex and is subjective.MethodsFifteen human experts interpreted 1,008 iFR pull back traces (691 unique, 317 duplicate). For each trace, experts determined the hemodynamic appropriateness for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and, in such cases, the optimal physiological strategy for PCI. The heart team (HT) interpretation was determined by consensus of the individual expert opinions. The same 1,008 pull back traces were also interpreted algorithmically. The coprimary hypotheses of this study were that AI would be noninferior to the interpretation of the median expert human in determining: 1) the hemodynamic appropriateness for PCI; and 2) the physiological strategy for PCI.ResultsRegarding the hemodynamic appropriateness for PCI, the median expert human demonstrated 89.3% agreement with the HT in comparison with 89.4% for AI (p < 0.01 for noninferiority). Across the 372 cases judged as hemodynamically appropriate for PCI according to the HT, the median expert human demonstrated 88.8% agreement with the HT in comparison with 89.7% for AI (p < 0.0001 for noninferiority). On reproducibility testing, the HT opinion itself changed 1 in 10 times for both the appropriateness for PCI and the physiological PCI strategy. In contrast, AI showed no change.ConclusionsAI of iFR pressure-wire pull back data was noninferior to expert human interpretation in determining both the hemodynamic appropriateness for PCI and the optimal physiological strategy for PCI.

Integrating particle tracking with computational fluid dynamics to assess haemodynamic perturbation by coronary artery stents.

Project description:AimsCoronary artery stents have profound effects on arterial function by altering fluid flow mass transport and wall shear stress. We developed a new integrated methodology to analyse the effects of stents on mass transport and shear stress to inform the design of haemodynamically-favourable stents.Methods and resultsStents were deployed in model vessels followed by tracking of fluorescent particles under flow. Parallel analyses involved high-resolution micro-computed tomography scanning followed by computational fluid dynamics simulations to assess wall shear stress distribution. Several stent designs were analysed to assess whether the workflow was robust for diverse strut geometries. Stents had striking effects on fluid flow streamlines, flow separation or funnelling, and the accumulation of particles at areas of complex geometry that were tightly coupled to stent shape. CFD analysis revealed that stents had a major influence on wall shear stress magnitude, direction and distribution and this was highly sensitive to geometry.ConclusionsIntegration of particle tracking with CFD allows assessment of fluid flow and shear stress in stented arteries in unprecedented detail. Deleterious flow perturbations, such as accumulation of particles at struts and non-physiological shear stress, were highly sensitive to individual stent geometry. Novel designs for stents should be tested for mass transport and shear stress which are important effectors of vascular health and repair.

Surgical treatment of heart failure due to giant coronary artery fistula: a case report.

Project description:Coronary artery fistula is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly that is often found incidentally during computed tomography angiography. Coronary fistula between the left circumflex coronary artery and the coronary sinus is among the less common forms of coronary artery fistula. A 60-yea\r-old female patient presented to our outpatient cardiology department with symptoms of severe, de novo heart failure. Echocardiogram revealed severe mitral regurgitation and a dilated duct that turbulently accelerated colour Doppler flow behind the left ventricle with significant left-to-right shunt. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography angiography revealed a massively dilated fistula between the left circumflex coronary artery and the coronary sinus with a diameter of 3-4 cm. The patient underwent combined heart surgery involving mitral ring annuloplasty and fistula ligation and was discharged in stable condition on guideline-based medical therapy. At 18 months of follow-up, minimal residual shunt flow and mild-to-moderate mitral regurgitation were found. We report a rare case of congenital coronary disorder resulting in heart failure and highlight the importance of complex non-invasive cardiac diagnostic procedures before planning and performing heart surgery.
