Misguided diversions: coronary artery fistulae

Coronary artery fistulae.

Bilateral Coronary Pulmonary Artery Fistulae.

Coronary cameral fistulae are rare and bicoronary pulmonary artery fistulae is even rarer. This is a case of a 70 year old male who presented to us with complaints of chest pain and dyspnoea. His ECG showed ST-T changes in inferior and anterior precordial leads suggestive of ischaemia in those territories. His coronary angiogram revealed bilateral coronary pulmonary arterial fistulae arising fr...

Transcatheter coil embolization in coronary artery fistulae.

Coronary artery fistulae (CAF) is a rare anomaly, mostly with the incidence of congenital CAF 0.1% - 0.2% and the incidence of acquired CAF 0.2% at coronary angiography. Symptomatic or high flow shunting CAF must be treated with surgery or non surgery approach such as transcatheter coil embolization (TCCE). A women 63 years old with chief complain of chest pain since one month ago. The patient ...

Post Closure Evaluation of Coronary Artery Fistulae

s: Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare congenital anomaly in which a communication is present between a coronary artery and cardiac chamber. Conventional coronary angiography is an invasive and expensive procedure, and cannot provide three-dimensional data. ECG gated multidetector CT (MDCT) is useful for non-invasive evaluation of coronary artery fistulae. Objectives: In this paper, we desc...

Coronary Artery Fistulae: 4 cases repaired surgically

Malta Medical Journal Volume 27 Issue 01 2015 Abstract Coronary artery fistulae involve a communication between a coronary artery and a heart chamber or part of the pulmonary circulation. Most are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, whilst larger ones may cause coronary steal syndrome. Fistulae may produce continuous murmurs and are diagnosed at echocardiography or angiography.
