Coronary arteriovenous fistula with aneurysm of coronary sinus.

Giant coronary sinus aneurysm secondary to right coronary arteriovenous fistula leading to pseudo-mitral stenosis

We herein report a case in which a right coronary to coronary sinus arteriovenous fistula determined progressive aneurysmatic dilatation of the coronary sinus. Severe compression of the left atrium ensued. This led to a clinical and instrumental picture similar to that observed in severe mitral stenosis.

Left circumflex coronary artery aneurysm with arteriovenous fistula to the coronary sinus presenting as acute coronary syndrome.

Congenital Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm With Fistula to the Coronary Sinus and Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava in an Old Woman

The combination of coronary arteriovenous fistula to the coronary sinus (CS), dilatation of the entire length of coronary artery, coronary aneurysm and persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is very rare. We present the case of a 63-year-old female admitted for dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea, and facial edema. Echocardiography detected a giant coronary artery with shunt flow, dilated CS and...

Rupture of the Coronary Sinus with Hemopericardium. a Rare Complication of Coronary Arteriovenous Fistula.

MANY excellent reviews of coronary arteriovenous fistulas have recently appeared in the literature.1 2 In the majority of these fatal cases, death was attributed to congestive heart failure. Rupture of the eoronary sinus as a coinplication of a coronary arteriovenous fistula has not, to our knowledge, been reported. The present case is thought to be unique in that the fistula was accompanied by...

Congenital Coronary Arteriovenous Fistula

SEVERAL excellent reviews have been published recently describing the anatomic and clinical findings in patients with congenital coronary arteriovenous fistulas or with communications between the coronary arteries and the cardiac chambers.1-3 The recognition of this clinical entity presents real difficulty, since it may easily be confused with other lesions causing a continuous or to-and-fro mu...
