Dilated cardiomyopathy caused by a coronary-pulmonary fistula treated successfully with coil embolization.

چکیده
We describe a case of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) caused by a coronary-pulmonary fistula and myocardial ischemia induced by the coronary steal phenomenon, which was successfully treated with coil embolization. Coronary fistulae and coronary-steal-induced ischemia are rare causes of DCM in adults with normal coronary arteries. Percutaneous treatment represents an alternative to surgery and may be offered as a relatively low-risk procedure. The choice between surgical and percutaneous treatment must take into account clinical and anatomical considerations.

متن کاملSuccessful Transcatheter Closure of a Rare
Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are anomalous terminations of coronary arteries in cardiac chambers or great arteries created by bypassing the myocardial capillary bed [1]. CAFs are rare and mostly asymptomatic. However, hemodynamically significant CAFs may cause myocardial ischemia, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias and infective endocarditis [2,3]. We present a case of coronary-pulmonary ...
متن کاملRole of Transesophageal Echocardiography in Surgical Retrieval of Embolized Amplatzer Device and Closure of Coronary–cameral Fistula
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...
متن کاملIatrogenic Left Internal Mammary Artery to Great Cardiac Vein Anastomosis Treated With Coil Embolization
Inadvertent left internal mammary artery (LIMA)-great cardiac vein (GCV) anastomosis is a rare complication of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Patients with iatrogenic aortocoronary fistula (ACF) were usually treated surgical repair, percutaneous embolic occlusion with coil or balloon. We report a case of iatrogenic LIMA to GCV anastomosis successfully treated with coil embolization and p...
