Dual Fistulas of Ascending Aorta and Coronary Artery to Pulmonary Artery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary artery fistula to pulmonary artery is common. However, to the best of our knowledge, a case of coronary artery fistula to pulmonary artery associated with aortopulmonary fistula remains unreported. We herein report a 64-year-old female with a left anterior descending coronary artery and ascending aorta to pulmonary artery fistulas, and conduct a brief review of the literature.

Noninvasive Demonstration of Dual Coronary Artery Fistulas to Main Pulmonary Artery with 64-Slice Multidetector-Computed Tomography: A Case Report
Coronary artery fistulas, including coronary pulmonary fistulas, are usually discovered accidently among the adult population when undergoing invasive coronary angiographies. We report here a 58-year-old woman with dual fistulas originating from the left anterior descending coronary artery and right coronary sinus to the main pulmonary artery, demonstrating noninvasively with multidetector-comp...
متن کاملAn unusual case of dual coronary artery fistulas to main pulmonary artery.
Coronary artery fistula is an anomaly in which a coronary artery directly connects to a cardiac chamber or great vessel. Its incidence is around 0.1 to 1% in the adult population. Dual coronary artery fistulas are far less common and their incidence is estimated to be around 5% in patients with this anomaly. Closure of the fistulas is indicated in patients with myocardial ischemia, large left t...
متن کاملThe bilateral pulmonary artery banding for hypoplastic left heart syndrome with a diminutive ascending aorta.
A one-day-old neonate who was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), aortic atresia, with a diminutive ascending aorta, and mitral atresia, was referred to us for cardiogenic shock because of excessive pulmonary blood flow. The patient underwent bilateral pulmonary artery banding (bPAB). After bPAB, the patient's hemodynamics were still unstable because of coronary malperfusion,...
متن کاملUtility of three-dimensional volume rendering images using electron-beam computed tomography to evaluate possible causes of ischemia from an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left sinus of valsalva.
The present study evaluated the usefulness of 3-dimensional volume rendering (VR) images using electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) in determining the possible causes of ischemia resulting from the anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the left sinus of Valsalva, which coursed between the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk. Such anomalies could cause ischemia or sudden d...
متن کاملMaldevelopment of conotruncal and aorto-pulmonary septum with absent left central pulmonary artery: anatomical and clinical implications.
In a patient with pulmonary valve atresia with hypoplastic main pulmonary artery selective angiography showed absence of the central left pulmonary artery and a right pulmonary artery originating from the ascending aorta close to the left coronary artery. This unusual anatomical arrangement complicates interventional and surgical treatment.
