Traumatic left anterior descending to pulmonary trunk fistula.
1 of 2 DESCRIPTION A young man in his late 20s, presented with new-onset exertional angina. Five months earlier, the patient had presented to the trauma unit with a penetrating injury to the left chest and cardiac arrest due to cardiac tamponade. The patient had undergone emergency median sternotomy for repair of a 15 mm laceration to the right ventricular outfl ow tract. On examination, he had...
متن کاملMultislice Computed Tomography After Left Main Drug-Eluting Stenting
Coronary stenting has become the dominant therapy for patients referred for coronary revascularization. Because of their documented efficacy in reducing instent restenosis (ISR),1–3 drug-eluting stents (DES) are used for this purpose in most percutaneous revascularization procedures. Although intended primarily for use in native, de novo stenoses in coronary vessels 2.5 to 3.5 mm in diameter, D...
متن کاملSpontaneous diffuse vasospasm simultaneously found at left main trunk, left anterior descending, left circumflex and right coronary arteries
Coronary artery spasm (CAS) is found not only in Asian but also in white patients. CAS can lead to angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. But CAS diagnosis is not necessarily easy, and it also remains highly challenging to therapy and prevention. We present a spontaneous extensive-CAS case with typical clinical features of acute myocardial infa...
متن کاملLeft anterior descending artery to pulmonary artery fistula: a rare cause of cardiac arrest.
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 l...
متن کاملCollateral circulation from the conus coronary artery to the anterior descending coronary artery: assessment using multislice coronary computed tomography.
The prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease largely depends on the presence of a collateral circulation. The location and extent of the collateral circulation is highly variable and these parameters determine whether or not ischemic symptoms occur and whether left ventricular contractility is abnormal. The collateral circulation is generally established through small-caliber distal v...
