traumatic left anterior descending coronary artery-right ventricle fistula: a case report

traumatic coronary artery-cameral fistulas (tcaf) are rare and may present secondary to penetrating injuries (80%) or iatrogenic traumas. early operative intervention remains the recommended treatment modality for accidental traumatic coronary artery fistulas. we report the case of a 17-year-old man who presented with left anterior descending coronary artery-right ventricle fistula following pe...

double-outlet right ventricle

In a previous study the possibility that tetralogy of Fallot and transposition of the great arteries may arise as a result of embryonic arrests in the normal rotation of the junction of the outflow tract and the great arteries was investigated. The results suggested that the development of other transposition complexes such as double-outlet right ventricle might also be related to arrests in th...

Transcatheter closure of a congenital coronary artery to right ventricle fistula: a case report

INTRODUCTION Congenital coronary artery fistula is a rare anomaly that may cause angina, atrial fibrillation, endocarditis, aneurysmal dilation and myocardial infarction. Both spontaneous regression and life-threatening complications have been described. Treatment can be conservative, surgical or more recently through transcatheter closure. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 27-year-ol...

Double-outlet right ventricle with long survival.

The entity of double outlet right ventricle is being increasingly recognized in recent years (Neufeld, DuShane, and Edwards, 1961a; Neufeld et al., 1961b, 1962; Morgan et al., 1962; Mehrizi, 1965; Venables and Campbell, 1966). The oldest patient in the series reported by Mehrizi (1965) was 22 years and in the 10 patients of Venables and Campbell (1966) the oldest was 9 years. We report a patien...
