Coronary-cameral fistula in an asymptomatic adult patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
The average frequency of coronary-cameral communication (CCC) is 0.09% in the population who undergoes coronary angiography. In addition, coronary-cameral fistula (CCF) constitutes 10% of all CCCs. CCF is probably very rare in adult patients, because the majority of them is detected and treated during childhood. Hereby, we present an asymptomatic adult patient with CCF who was diagnosed incidentally during a pre-operative cardiovascular examination for non-cardiac surgery. A 45-year-old female patient was referred to our outpatient clinic for a cardiovascular examination before an elective abdominal surgery. In her medical history, she had no cardiovascular symptoms. Physical examination revealed 1-2/6 apical systolic murmur.

Coronary-cameral fistula (CCF) is an anomalous connection between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or major vessel, seen in about 0.8% of the cases undergoing coronary angiography. Most patients are asymptomatic and diagnosis is made incidentally during coronary angiography. We present an image case of CCF which was found incidentally during pre-liver transplantation work up.
متن کاملUnusual case of surgically failed coronary-cameral fistula: successful outcome with transradial coil embolization.
Coronary-cameral fistula is a rare clinical entity. Symptoms depend upon the size and location of the fistula. Closure of fistula is indicated in the presence of symptoms. Newer, less invasive techniques are being employed and are in constant evolution. We report the first case of a coronary-cameral fistula that failed open surgical treatment and responded to percutaneous transradial interventi...
