Coronary-to-pulmonary artery collaterals in pulmonary atresia.

ABSTRACT: A 2-month-old baby with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary atresia was found to have coronary-to-pulmonary artery collaterals. Cardiac computed tomography confirmed the coronary collaterals and showed the absence of other systemic to pulmonary artery collaterals. Although these collaterals do not cause coronary ischemia, it is important to delineate them by accurate imaging to plan the appropriate surgical strategy.

Prevalence of coronary artery-pulmonary artery collaterals in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.

Project description:This study sought to determine the prevalence of coronary artery-pulmonary artery collaterals in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and to correlate their presence with the degree of clot burden. CTEPH is a treatable cause of severe pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure. Bronchopulmonary collateral vessels have been used as a supplementary diagnostic and prognostic tool for this disease. Coronary artery-pulmonary artery collaterals in this population have not been described. The coronary angiograms of 300 consecutive patients with CTEPH evaluated for pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) between January 1, 2007, and May 1, 2014, were examined. Of these patients, 259 (50% male; mean age, 58.3 ± 10.6 years) had cineangiographic images deemed adequate to definitively assess for the presence of coronary artery-pulmonary artery collaterals and were included in the final analyses. Pulmonary angiogram reports were reviewed for extent of pulmonary artery obstruction. The coronary angiograms of 259 age- and sex-matched control patients were also examined. Among 259 CTEPH patients with definitive imaging, 34 coronary artery-pulmonary artery collaterals were found in 28 patients (10.8%), versus 1 coronary artery-pulmonary artery collateral among control subjects (0.4%; P < 0.001). Compared with CTEPH patients without collaterals, patients with collaterals had a significantly higher prevalence of total occlusion of their right or left main pulmonary artery (P < 0.001) or lobar arteries (P < 0.001). In conclusion, the prevalence of coronary artery-pulmonary artery collaterals in CTEPH patients undergoing coronary angiography for possible PTE is approximately 11%. These vessels are associated with more severe pulmonary artery occlusion.

An Unusual Cause of Hypoxia: Ventricular Septal Defect, Pulmonary Artery Atresia, and Major Aortopulmonary Collaterals Diagnosed in the Adult Cardiac Catheterization Lab.

Project description:The association of pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect (VSD) and major aortopulmonary collaterals (MAPCA) is an extreme form of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). It carries a high mortality risk if not intervened on during infancy with only 20% of unoperated patients surviving into adulthood. We present the case of a 40-year-old man who presented for evaluation prior to retinal surgery and was found to have hypoxia and a loud murmur. Cardiac catheterization was performed in the general catheterization laboratory, demonstrating a membranous VSD, pulmonary atresia, and MAPCA. We highlight the challenges and limitations that an adult interventional cardiologist may have when encountering these patients.

Absent right coronary artery: A case of single coronary artery or congenital ostial atresia?

Project description:Atresia of the right coronary artery ostium is a rare anatomic variant of the coronary circulation. It is often difficult to differentiate from single coronary artery. Its presence unassociated with any other anomaly has never been described in an adult individual. We report this unusual anomaly and discuss its anatomical and pathophysiological significance and possible ways to differentiate from single coronary artery.

An adult case of Bland-White-Garland syndrome with collaterals from giant right coronary artery and bronchial artery.

Project description:Bland-White-Garland syndrome (BWG) is a congenital heart disease characterized by anomalous origin of left coronary artery from main pulmonary artery. The anomaly causes significant myocardial ischemia, mitral insufficiency, and high infant mortality. Several investigators have reported that the subjects who survived to adulthood showed extensive collateral flow from right coronary artery (RCA). We report a case of newly diagnosed BWG in an elderly patient who had well-developed collaterals from aneurysmal giant RCA and bronchial artery, which were identified by coronary angiography with multi-detector computed tomography. <Learning objective: Structural heart disease is occasionally hard to assess with invasive angiography. In this case, multi-detector computed tomography demonstrated complicated structure of anomalous coronary morphology including collateral sources from extra-cardiac anastomoses. The severity of anomaly related myocardial ischemia was evaluated by image fusion with radionuclide myocardial perfusion. Multimodal imaging approach can provide comprehensive and incremental information.>.

Unilateral pulmonary artery atresia in an adult: A case report.

Project description:IntroUnilateral pulmonary artery atresia (UPAA), while encountered frequently in the congenital cardiac anomaly cohort, is occasionally diagnosed in adulthood after typical symptoms of hemoptysis, pulmonary infection, or as an incidental finding on contrast CT scan. Due to its rarity, a brief discussion of UPAA and its treatment is warranted.Case reportA 35 year old male presented with three days of hemoptysis. After diagnosis of right UPAA, he underwent angioembolization of 6 large systemic collaterals supplying his right lung, followed by right pneumonectomy. He was discharged on post-operative day 3, and at follow up 6 weeks later was doing well with minimal residual incisional pain and excellent pulmonary reserve.ConclusionsUPAA presents classically with hemoptysis, but also with pneumonia, pulmonary hypertension, or incidentally. Management includes selective collateral embolization, pneumonectomy, or medical management directed towards decreasing pulmonary hypertension in patients unable to tolerate pneumonectomy due to comorbidities. Pneumonectomy in these patients is characterized by dense and hypervascular adhesions, with large volume blood loss expected during adhesiolysis, which can be decreased with pre-operative embolization. Outcomes are typically excellent in otherwise healthy patients.

Pulmonary artery from the left main coronary artery.

Project description:The usual sources of pulmonary blood flow in pulmonary atresia (PA) with(VSD) are patent ductus arteriosus and aortopulmonary collaterals. However, rarely fistulous collaterals may also arise from the coronary arteries which usually open into the main pulmonary trunk or branch pulmonary arteries. In such cases, selective coronary angiogram may be required for the demonstration of pulmonary arterial anatomy. A case of PA with VSD with failure to demonstrate pulmonary arteries on routine catheterization study (ventricular, aortic root, and descending aortic angiograms) is being presented here. A coronary artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula was suspected in view of dilated left main coronary artery, and pulmonary arteries were well demonstrated with selective coronary angiogram.

Anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery associated with pulmonary hypertension.

Project description:This is a report on a 10-year-old child with anomalous origin of left coronary artery (LCA) from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), severe pulmonary hypertension (PH), old myocardial infarction and poor intercoronary collateralization. It discusses the echocardiographic pitfalls in this particular setting and introduces a new echocardiographic view (posterior pulmonary cusp view) for visualization of the anomalous origin of LCA from the posterior pulmonary cusp (PC) in patients with ALCAPA from the PC of the pulmonary artery. We describe three echocardiographic pitfalls that can mislead the echocardiographer and two helpful hints that guide the clinician to the correct diagnosis. The survival of this child shows that limited size of left ventricular myocardial infarction and severe mitral regurgitation in early infancy can result in a life-saving pulmonary hypertension which preserves viability and function of left ventricle despite lack of intercoronary collateral arteries. After one year follow-up, she is doing well on medical treatment.

Multiple giant coronary artery aneurysms combined with right coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula: a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The combination of multiple giant coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) and right coronary artery (RCA) to pulmonary artery (PA) fistula is extremely rare and the patients with CAAs may suffer from several fatal complications. We herein describe a 60-year-old female with hemodynamic instability who was diagnosed with multiple giant CAAs combined with RCA-PA fistula. CASE PRESENTATION:The patient, a 60-year-old female, presented to the emergency room because of progressive exertional chest distress and fatigue. The transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and invasive coronary angiography confirmed the existence of multiple giant CAAs and RCA-PA fistula. Laboratory examinations for systemic vasculitis and infectious diseases demonstrated no abnormalities and work-up for childhood and family history were negative. We have performed a successful surgical treatment for this patient. The patient's restrictive cardiac dysfunction was improved after debriding the advanced thrombi in aneurysm sac and ligating the fistulous vessel between the native RCA and PA. The postoperative pathologic examination of the aneurysmal wall revealed loss of smooth muscle cells in the media with local mucoid degeneration, no chronic inflammation, sclerosis and IgG4 were observed. CONCLUSIONS:The treatment decision-making process should depend upon the patients' specific situations. Our case suggests the surgical intervention should be accepted as the preferred treatment for giant CAAs with restrictive cardiac dysfunction.
