Most of these are found incidentally during angiography [2]. Fistulas account for half of all coronary anomalies and are present in 0.002% of the general population. Coronary to pu...

Coronary artery fistulas are one of the most common congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries. Most fistulas are small and of no clinical significance, although larger or multiple fistulas can be symptomatic and produce complications. Early percutaneous occlusion is now always recommended, and surgical closure is restricted to use for multiple or large fistulas. Here we report four cases of...

The incidence of multiple fistulas within all coronary arteriovenous fistulas varies between 10.7% and 16%.

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...
