[Left internal thoracic artery to left pulmonary artery fistula after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. A rare cause of myocardial ischemia].

چکیده
We report a patient who developed dyspnea on mild exertion six years after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Myocardial ischemia was documented by radionuclide imaging, and coronary angiography showed patency of all grafts and a large fistula between the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) and the left pulmonary artery (LPA). The patient was submitted to surgical closure of the fistula and made an excellent recovery.

Late myocardial ischemia induced by a large fistula between left internal mammary graft and left pulmonary vein system.
A coronary fistula is an extremely rare coronary artery anomaly and its incidence is 0.08-0.4% (1). A fistula between the Left internal mammary graft (LIMA) graft and pulmonary vein after a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a very rare event, which can result in recurrence of anginal symptoms related to coronary steal (2). We present a 57 year old male patient who had coronary bypass surge...
متن کاملLeft upper lobectomy after CABG with the left internal mammary artery graft.
Left upper lobectomy in a patient with a history of Left Internal Mammary Artery (LIMA) graft for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery (CABG) is a challenge for the surgical team. The adhesion formation in the left chest, especially around the left internal mammary artery graft, may cause diffculty for surgery. The injury of LIMA during dissection may lead to serious acute myocardial ischemia a...
متن کاملInternal mammary to pulmonary artery fistula presenting as early recurrent angina after coronary bypass.
A 50-year-old man developed recurrent angina 1 year after coronary artery bypass surgery. The patient was found to have a large fistula involving branches of the internal mammary artery graft and the left pulmonary artery. In the absence of another clear cause for the patient's symptoms, we speculated that our patient's angina and abnormal stress nuclear study were due to coronary steal. In pat...
متن کاملEarly Clinical Outcomes and Mortality of Coronary Endarterectomy in the Left Anterior Descending Artery: A Single-Center Experience
Introduction: Although coronary endarterectomy is not an ideal procedure, it is the only available option for cardiac surgeons in some patients with diffuse coronary artery disease. Based on the majority of conducted studies, the results of coronary endarterectomy (including survival, graft patency, and recurrence of the symptoms of myocardial ischemia) are less prevalent than standard coronary...
متن کاملTranspulmonary closing of left internal mammary artery to pulmonary artery fistula with polytetrafluoroethylene covered stent: a case report and review of literature.
Internal mammary artery (IMA) to pulmonary vasculature fistula is a rare condition that can be congenital or associated with coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG), trauma, inflammation, or neoplasia. This complication may cause myocardial ischemia. CABG with an IMA conduit accounts for most iatrogenic cases, thus this problem may be encountered more in the future as the number of patie...
