Noninvasive imaging of left coronary arteriovenous fistula.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated a patient with coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF) by two-dimensional echocardiography (2-DE), cardiac Doppler, cardiac catheterization and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). These investigations clearly showed the abnormal vascular structures. NMR is another valuable noninvasive and safe method of confirming the presence of a CAVF.

Clinical presentation of coronary arteriovenous fistula according to age and anatomic orientation
Background: Coronary arteriovenous fistulas (CAVFs) are direct connections from one or more coronary arteries to cardiac chambers or a large vessel. They are mostly of congenital origin. The aim of this study was to describe clinical presentation and also delineate the course and management of CAVF. Methods: Clinical data, chest x-rays, echocardiographic and angiographic evaluation of...

A 50 year old woman presented with a history of angina and palpitation. She had a positive exercise test and thallium scintigraphy showed reversible ischaemia in the territory of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Coronary angiography showed a small coronary arteriovenous fistula arising from the bifurcation of the left main stem--that is, the origin of the left anterior descending a...

متن کاملSaccular aneurysm of congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula.
A rare aneurysm of a congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula is reported. Echocardiography showed a dilated left coronary and left circumflex artery with normal left anterior descending artery. A dilated structure near the crux was confirmed to be a large aneurysm of circumflex coronary artery on selective angiography. It drained into the posterior right atrial wall. Under cardiopulmonary byp...
متن کاملCongenital circumflex coronary arteriovenous fistula with aneurysmal termination in the pulmonary artery.
Coronary arteriovenous fistula is a rare congenital anomaly that is seen in 0.1 % to 0.2% of coronary angiograms. Aneurysmal formation in the fistula is even rarer. We report a case of congenital circumflex arteriovenous fistula with aneurysmal formation just near its termination in the pulmonary artery, associated with atherosclerotic left anterior descending coronary artery. The anomaly was s...
