Coronary Artery Fistula with Heart Failure in Early Infancy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heart failure in early infancy is commonly caused by lesions leading to pulmonary over circulation secondary to left-to-right shunt. This case report describes an unusual cause of significant left-to-right shunt in a 2 months old infant presenting with congestive heart failure, which was diagnosed with transthoracic echocardiography. In this infant, transthoracic echocardiography with Doppler color flow mapping allowed direct visualization of a large right coronary artery to right ventricular fistula that was surgically corrected successfully.

متن کاملCoronary Arteriovenous Fistula Causing Hydrops Fetalis
Fetal heart failure and hydrops fetalis may occur due to systemic arteriovenous fistula because of increased cardiac output. Arteriovenous fistula of the central nervous system, liver, bone or vascular tumors such as sacrococcygeal teratoma were previously reported to be causes of intrauterine heart failure. However, coronary arteriovenous fistula was not reported as a cause of fetal heart fail...
