چکیده
Coronary-cameral fistula is a scarce clinical entity, which is defined as an anomalous communication between any epicardial coronary artery and cardiac chambers or large vessels. We aimed to present a case of multiple coronary-cameral fistulas causing myocardial ischemia.

Coronary-cameral fistulas are rare congenital malformations, often incidentally found during cardiac catheterizations. The majority of these fistulas are congenital in nature but can be acquired secondary to trauma or invasive cardiac procedures. These fistulas most commonly originate in the right coronary artery and terminate into the right ventricle and least frequently drain into the left ve...

We describe the case of a 45-year-old female patient with coronary fistulas arising from both the left and right coronary artery system and emptying in the left ventricle. Only sporadically do coronary artery fistulas drain into the left ventricle. In our patient, the most likely explanation of the fistulous communications was a congenital cause. We review the literature on coronary cameral fis...
متن کاملThree Vessel Coronary Cameral Fistulae Associated with New Onset Atrial Fibrillation and Angina Pectoris
Coronary cameral fistulas are abnormal communications between a coronary artery and a heart chamber or a great vessel which are reported in less than 0.1% of patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. All three major coronary arteries are even less frequently involved in fistula formation as it is the case in our patient. A 68-year-old woman was admitted to cardiology clinic with comp...
متن کاملMultiple coronary-cameral fistulas to the left ventricle arising from both coronary arteries
Coronary-cameral fistula (CCF) is an anomalous connection between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or major vessel, seen in about 0.8% of the cases undergoing coronary angiography. Most patients are asymptomatic and diagnosis is made incidentally during coronary angiography. We present an image case of CCF which was found incidentally during pre-liver transplantation work up.
متن کاملAn unusual case of dual coronary artery fistulas to main pulmonary artery.
Coronary artery fistula is an anomaly in which a coronary artery directly connects to a cardiac chamber or great vessel. Its incidence is around 0.1 to 1% in the adult population. Dual coronary artery fistulas are far less common and their incidence is estimated to be around 5% in patients with this anomaly. Closure of the fistulas is indicated in patients with myocardial ischemia, large left t...
