چکیده

Congenital coronary artery fistula (CAF) with huge coronary artery aneurysm is a very rare condition. In this paper, we describe a 26-year-old asymptomatic male patient with right coronary artery (RCA) to the left ventricle fistula with a huge coronary artery aneurysm which was diagnosed by multidetector computed tomography and coronary angiography. The patient received surgical treatment for coronary artery after diagnosis. Both RCA and a giant aneurysm were excised; surgical closure of CAF and coronary artery bypass grafting were performed on this patient. Two months after surgery, the enlarged left ventricle returned to normal as evaluated by echocardiography.

Prenatal diagnosis of an isolated coronary arterial fistula.

Congenital coronary artery fistulas (CAF) are rare malformations which can be complicated by hemodynamically relevant intracardiac shunts, endocarditis, myocardial infarction, thromboemboly or coronary aneurysms and rupture. The incidence of isolated coronary fistula is 1:50000 live birth (Schumacher G et al. Thorac Cardiovas Surg 1997; 45: 287–294). The left, right or both coronary arteries ma...
