Left anterior descending artery to pulmonary artery fistula: a rare cause of cardiac arrest.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 61-year old female presented with cardiac arrest. The diagnostic process following successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation was consistent with a left anterior descending to pulmonary artery fistula (Figs. 1 and 2). The patient underwent surgical ligation of the fistula, under cardiopul-monary bypass without complications. Fig. 1. Coronary angiogram showing fistulous vessel (arrow) from the left anterior descending artery draining into the pulmonary artery. Fig. 2. Multi-detector computed tomographic scan with three-dimensional reconstruction showing the abnormal communication (LCPAF: left coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula).
