Symptomatic Coronary Cameral Fistula

چکیده
Coronary cameral fistula is a rare entity and is characterized by an abnormal communication between coronary artery and a cardiac chamber. It is usually congenital and asymptomatic in majority of patients. If symptomatic the patients usually present in childhood. We present a case of 45-year-old male who presented with anginal chest pain and dyspnea on exertion for last 1 year. His exercise treadmill test was positive for ischemic changes and ECG-gated contrast enhanced CT was done for further evaluation. CT showed a large right coronary artery to right atrium fistula. It also ruled out any coronary atherosclerosis as reason for chest pain and ischemic symptoms on exercise treadmill test. The fistula was successfully closed by surgery and there was resolution of chest pain and dyspnea.

Unusual 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...

Congenital coronary artery fistula is an uncommon anomaly. Transcatheter coil embolization or Amplatzer vascular plug device closure of fistula is often done in symptomatic patients with safe accessibility to the feeding coronary artery. Embolization of Amplatzer vascular plug device is rare. We report an 11-year-old male child who presented to us with increasing shortness of breath for 7 years...
