چکیده
An 80-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of chest discomfort. Emergent coronary angiography revealed bilateral coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) and severe stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) followed by successful coronary intervention. Threedimensional volume rendered computed tomography angiography (CTA) (Aquilion 16 TSX-101A, Toshiba, Otawara, Japan) images demonstrated a complex CAF composed of a

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 کاملApplying preoperative multidetector computed tomography to bilateral coronary artery fistulas.
Coronary artery fistula arising from both the right coronary artery and the circumflex coronary artery is rare. A 28-year-old woman with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease who was on regular hemodialysis complained of recent progressive exertional dyspnea. Congestive heart failure was diagnosed during work-up for simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplantation....
متن کاملA case of anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery in adulthood: multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography findings.
Anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare but very serious congenital coronary artery anomaly. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography has recently become the gold standard for depicting anatomical variations and anomalies of the coronary arteries because the origin and course of anomalous arteries can be demonstrated very accurate...

• Vol 9 • April 2007 CA Fistulas Detected by MSCT A 57 old man was admitted for exertional dyspnea and chest pain. During workup, a chest computed tomography scan was performed and a very large and unusual arterial structure was observed in the left anterior descending position. The patient was referred for evaluation by cardiac multi-slice CT. Non-invasive coronary angiography was performed us...
متن کاملMalignant anomalous right coronary artery detected by multidetector row computed tomography coronary angiography
We report a case of an anomalous origin of a right coronary artery from the left coronary sinus with an inter-arterial course, between the aorta and the main pulmonary artery. This variant has been called malignant because of its association with sudden death, especially in young asymptomatic athletes. Although these variants are rare, knowledge of cross sectional anatomy of the coronary arteri...
