Saccular aneurysm of congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A rare aneurysm of a congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula is reported. Echocardiography showed a dilated left coronary and left circumflex artery with normal left anterior descending artery. A dilated structure near the crux was confirmed to be a large aneurysm of circumflex coronary artery on selective angiography. It drained into the posterior right atrial wall. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, the drainage site was identified and directly closed from within the right atrium. Fistula was ligated at origin. The diagnostic and different treatment modalities are reviewed.

Coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF) is a rarely encountered congenital coronary anomaly, in which coronary artery blood flow bypasses the myocardial capillary network and usually drains to a heart chamber or great vessel. It is usually asymptomatic. However, the risk of symptoms and complications increases with age. High output heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, myocardial ischemia and in...

Coronary arteriovenous fistulas (CAF) and coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are uncommon, but their detection has recently increased. In this case we succeeded in identifying the residual shunt flow by using an intraoperative fluorescence imaging technique with indocyanine green after surgical treatment. The photodynamic eye imaging system is based on fluorescence of indocyanine green. This is th...

Background: Coronary arteriovenous fistulas (CAVFs) are direct connections from one or more coronary arteries to cardiac chambers or a large vessel. They are mostly of congenital origin. The aim of this study was to describe clinical presentation and also delineate the course and management of CAVF. Methods: Clinical data, chest x-rays, echocardiographic and angiographic evaluation of...
