Left circumflex coronary arteriovenous 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 .

Left circumflex coronary artery to coronary sinus fistula.

1010-7940/$ — see front matter # 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.ejcts.2006.06.022 draining to the coronary sinus (Fig. 1). 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...

Noninvasive imaging of left coronary arteriovenous fistula.

We investigated a patient with coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF) by two-dimensional echocardiography (2-DE), cardiac Doppler, cardiac catheterization and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). These investigations clearly showed the abnormal vascular structures. NMR is another valuable noninvasive and safe method of confirming the presence of a CAVF.
