Extensively Thrombosed Ectatic Circumflex Coronary Artery Fistula Presenting as Acute Coronary Syndrome

Left circumflex coronary artery aneurysm with arteriovenous fistula to the coronary sinus presenting as acute coronary syndrome.

coronary artery fistula from left circumflex to coronary sinus

in this paper, we describe a case of an aneurysmal circumflex artery connected to the coronary sinus through a fistula in a 40-year-old man with a two-year history of palpitation and chest pain. we discussed surgical management for patients with coronary artery fistula (caf), particularly for asymptomatic patients with a small left-to-right shunt .

Coronary artery fistula presenting as unstable angina.

c t a A 74-year-old man, with a history of heavy smoking, presented with unstable angina (Figure 1). Dobutamine stress echocardiography showed ischemia in the right coronary artery territory. Coronary angiography revealed no obstructive epicardial disease in the left dominant circulation (Figure 2A); the right coronary artery (RCA) was a small caliber and tortuous vessel, with only minor athero...

Surgical treatment was revascularization of the diagonal branch (no reperfusion of the LAD) and ligation of the fistula. We report a case of a 63-year-old woman who was admitted at our institution for unstable angina with a severe coronary disease and...

Congenital Absence of Left Circumflex Coronary Artery

Congenital absence of left circumflex artery is a rare congenital anomaly of the coronary arteries. The prevalence of the anomaly in different studies ranges from 0.6% to 1.3%. Of these, 80% are benign and asymptomatic and 20% are clinically important. We report a 56-year-old man presented with acute resting chest pain who was diagnosed as having acute anterolateral infarction accompanied by el...
