Coronary Sinus to Left Atrium Communication

Coronary Sinus to Left Atrial Communication

Congenital coronary sinus anomalies are rare in clinical practice, partly due to the lack of symptoms. We present a case of coronary sinus anomaly causing a right-to-left intracardiac shunt in a 46 years/old African American female with a past medical history of obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and ischemic cardiomyopathy who presented with hypo...

Communications of the Coronary Sinus with the Left Atrium.

Traumatic atrial septal defect and coronary sinus to left atrium fistula from coronary sinus pacing lead removal.

CARDIAC resynchronization therapy with the placement of a left ventricular pacing electrode in the coronary sinus has been shown to be an effective treatment in selected patients with symptomatic left ventricular dysfunction. Coronary sinus leads can be removed with relative ease because of their small diameter and relatively poor fixation mechanisms. However, removal of coronary sinus electrod...

coronary artery fistula from left circumflex to coronary sinus

in this paper, we describe a case of an aneurysmal circumflex artery connected to the coronary sinus through a fistula in a 40-year-old man with a two-year history of palpitation and chest pain. we discussed surgical management for patients with coronary artery fistula (caf), particularly for asymptomatic patients with a small left-to-right shunt .
