Ectatic left circumflex artery with fistula to coronary sinus presenting with inferior wall myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT: Coronary arteriovenous fistulae are a rare but potentially curable cause of ischaemic heart disease and should be considered as a differential diagnosis especially in patients lacking classical risk factors for coronary artery disease. We discuss one such case of cardiac ischaemia resulting from a coronary arteriovenous fistula. While there are sporadic case reports of similar patients in medical literature, our patient is the first reported case of ST-elevation myocardial infarction secondary to the fistulous connection.

Anomalous origin of left main coronary artery from right coronary artery in a patient presenting with inferior wall myocardial infarction: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundAnomalous origin of the coronary arteries is seen in less than 1% of the general population. Single coronary artery (SCA) is a congenital anatomic abnormality identified by a single coronary ostium giving rise to one coronary artery. We present an extremely rare variant of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) branching off from the right coronary artery (RCA) and following a prepulmonic course.Case summaryA 72-year-old woman presented due to ongoing chest pain with associated ST-segment elevation involving the inferior leads. Emergent cardiac catheterization revealed a 99% ulcerated lesion in distal RCA, which was intervened on with angioplasty and stent placement. The RCA was noted giving rise to LMCA, which followed a prepulmonic course (anterior to pulmonary artery) before trifurcating into a small caliber left anterior descending, ramus intermedius, and hypoplastic left circumflex arteries. The non-malignant course of the aberrant LMCA was confirmed on the coronary computed tomography angiogram. The patient was discharged home on guideline-directed medical therapy.DiscussionThe patient illustrated congenital SCA with type RIIA pattern of the aberrant vessel based on the Lipton anatomic classification for SCA. The prepulmonic course of SCA is usually benign and can be managed conservatively.

Isolated single coronary artery (RII-B type) presenting as an inferior wall myocardial infarction: a rare clinical entity.

Project description:Isolated single coronary artery without other congenital cardiac anomalies is very rare among the different variations of anomalous coronary patterns. The prognosis in patients with single coronary varies according to the anatomic distribution and associated coronary atherosclerosis. If the left main coronary artery travels between the aorta and pulmonary arteries, it may be a cause of sudden cardiac death. We present multimodality images of a single coronary artery, in which the whole coronary system originated by a single trunk from the right sinus of Valsalva with inter-arterial course of left main coronary artery. This rare type of single coronary artery was classified as RII-B type according to Lipton's scheme of classification. A significant flow-limiting lesions were found in the right coronary artery that was successfully treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.

Successful treatment of a dilated circumflex artery and coronary sinus fistula.

Project description:Coronary arteriovenous fistula is a rare entity and is mostly diagnosed and corrected in early childhood. We report the case of a 59-year-old female patient who was presented with chest pain during exertion for 3 months because of an aneurysmatic circumflex artery and coronary sinus fistula. We successfully ligated the circumflex artery close to the main stem and to the coronary sinus. The first marginal branch was revascularized by the left internal thoracic artery. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Ventricular Septal Dissection Complicating Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction.

Project description:Postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect is an increasingly rare mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. We present a case of acute myocardial infarction from right coronary artery occlusion that developed hypotension and systolic murmur 12 hours after successful percutaneous coronary intervention. Although preoperative imaging suggested a large ventricular septal defect and a pseudoaneurysm, intraoperative findings concluded a serpiginous dissection of the ventricular septum. The imaging technicalities are discussed.

A Giant Left Circumflex Artery Aneurysm with Thrombosis Formation Presenting as a Left Atrioventricular Groove Mass.

Project description:A coronary artery aneurysm is defined as the dilation of a coronary artery segment that is 1.5-fold the diameter of the neighboring normal segments. A patient with a history of aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass graft surgery, transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large mass with an echolucent center in the left atrioventricular groove. Transesophageal echocardiography showed that the left atrial appendage was free of thrombosis, and there was a mass with an echolucent center beneath the left atrial appendage, suggestive of aneurysmal dilation in the left circumflex artery with thrombosis formation Coronary artery computed tomography angiography confirmed this finding. In patients with or without a history of coronary aneurysms, the presence of a mass in the atrioventricular groove on echocardiography should alert clinicians about the presence of a coronary artery aneurysm with thrombosis formation as a probable etiology.

Accidental left circumflex artery to right lung fistula in a suspected case of pulmonary hypertension.

Project description:A 56-year-old woman was referred to the cardiology department of the Shahid Modarres hospital. The patient had a history of pulmonary thromboembolism 20 years ago which had been managed by the inferior vena cava filter and since then the patient has been on warfarin. Her chief complaint was chronic dyspnea on exertion (NYHA class II) from several years ago. Right and left heart catheterization was performed for evaluation of pulmonary artery pressure. We found rich collateral formations between LCX as well as RCA and right pulmonary artery, primarily assumed as multiple fistulas. Among patients who have chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, systemic collateral supply to the pulmonary parenchyma has been previously reported to occur from both bronchial and/or nonbronchial systemic circulations. Our patient had neither signs of heart failure nor myocardial ischemia and, thus, was a candidate for conservative management. The adenosine pulmonary reactivity test was not performed because of low pulmonary pressure which had been estimated to be high.

Successful percutaneous occlusion of a large left circumflex coronary artery fistula draining into the coronary sinus using a ventricular septal defect occluder: a case report.

Project description:Background:Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a congenital anomaly of the coronaries that can lead to significant intracardiac shunting and myocardial ischaemia. Case summary:We describe the case of a 15-year-old male with an incidentally documented precordial cardiac murmur. An evidently dilated coronary sinus (CS) on transthoracic echocardiography prompted further investigation. A computed tomography (CT) revealed the presence of a large CAF from the left circumflex coronary artery to the CS. No other structural heart defects were detected. A haemodynamically significant intracardiac shunt was confirmed during cardiac catheterization, and it was decided to close the fistula. This was successfully performed using a ventricular septal defect (VSD) occluder (Konar 10-8, Lifetech Scientific) that was deployed through a 6?Fr right coronary guiding catheter. A partial thrombotic occlusion of the CS behind the closure device was noted during follow-up which led to anticoagulation in a higher target INR range and concomitant start of low dose carbasalate calcium to reduce further retrograde thrombus extension. Patient is doing well at over 1?year of follow-up, and no further thrombotic extension into the CS was seen on a recent CT. Discussion:This report illustrates the diagnostic workup and a percutaneous treatment strategy of a CAF using a VSD occluder. We also describe a not previously reported complication, thrombotic CS occlusion. Improving transcatheter techniques and marketing of novel devices with a broad spectrum of applications can offer new opportunities for treating CAF and avoiding surgical correction often involving cardiopulmonary bypass, reserving this option for patients with complex anatomy or failed transcatheter closure.
