[Percutaneous closure of complex fistula between the internal mammary artery and a lobar branch of a pulmonary artery].

چکیده
A through review of the literature identified only 20 reported cases of fistula involving the internal mammary (internal thoracic) artery and a lobar branch of a pulmonary artery. Surgical closure was frequently done to avoid complications associated with this anomaly. We report the first patient in whom percutaneous treatment was accomplished with a combined technique involving an Amplatzer Duct Occluder device and coils.

Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is described as an anomalous connection between a coronary artery and a major vessel or cardiac chamber. It can result in myocardial ischemia, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, bacterial endocarditis, and rupture of aneurysmal vessels [1]. The majority of these fistulae originate from the left anterior descending artery or from the right coronary artery [2]. S...
متن کاملLeft Internal Mammary Artery Graft-to-Pulmonary Artery Fistula
DOI: 10.5935/abc.20140160 An 80-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of an acute coronary syndrome. He had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) 12 years ago, which involved a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft to the left anterior descending coronary artery. Direct LIMA injection revealed an arteriovenous fistula between the distal portion of a grossly dilated LI...
متن کاملCase Image: A rare angiographic image of Vieussens' arterial ring associated with coronary to pulmonary artery fistula.
Vieussens’ arterial ring (VAR) is a collateral circulation between the conus branches of the right coronary artery (RCA) and the left anterior descending artery (LAD), and is thought to be an embryologic remnant. It was first described by Raymond de Vieussens in 1706. VAR is found in 48% of the population, but pathological conditions related to VAR (aneurysm, rupture, fistula) are very rare. A ...
متن کاملEffects of two new dihydropyridine derivatives, mepudipine and dibudipine, on isolated human internal mammary artery and rat left atrium
Among the present classes of calcium channel blockers, dihydropyridine derivatives are widely used in the therapy of hypertension, angina pectoris and the other cardiovascular diseases. Since the prototype of dihydropyridine derivatives, nifedipine, does not have the optimum pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics, several attempts have been made to synthesize other drugs in this ...
متن کاملLate 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...
