A Case Report: Transcatheter Coil Embolisation for Coronary Artery Fistula from Left Anterior Descending Artery and Drainage to Right Ventricle
نویسنده
چکیده
Coronary artery fistulae (CAF) represent the most frequent congenital anomalies influencing hemodynamic parameters of coronary arteries. Determining the optimal management of symptomatic patients with CAF still remains a challenging problem, and has been traditionally considered as an indication for cardiac surgery. The use of transcatheter coil embolization for CAF has emerged as a less invasive strategy and has recently been considered as an alternative to surgical correction.

Transcatheter closure of a congenital coronary artery to right ventricle fistula: a case report
INTRODUCTION Congenital coronary artery fistula is a rare anomaly that may cause angina, atrial fibrillation, endocarditis, aneurysmal dilation and myocardial infarction. Both spontaneous regression and life-threatening complications have been described. Treatment can be conservative, surgical or more recently through transcatheter closure. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 27-year-ol...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of coronary artery fistula using Guglielmi detachable coil
BACKGROUND Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare anomaly. Transcatheter CAF closure has been introduced using various materials, but only few data are available on the Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC). The advantage of using GDC for transcatheter CAF closure is more controllable, therefore much safer when compared to other coils. This report is about our experience in transcatheter closure of ...
متن کاملTranscatheter Coil Embolization for Coronary Artery Fistula with Giant Aneurysm Originating from Left Circumflex Artery and Drainage to Right Ventricle
Coronary artery fistulae (CAF) represent the most frequent congenital anomalies influencing hemodynamic parameters of coronary arteries. However, CAF complicated with a huge aneurysm does not frequently occur. Determining the optimal management of symptomatic patients with CAF and aneurysm still remains a challenging problem, and has been traditionally considered as an indication for cardiac su...
متن کاملCorrection of myocardial ischaemia after transcatheter embolisation of a small left coronary artery venous fistula.
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 کاملTranscatheter closure of coronary artery fistulas.
BACKGROUND Transcatheter closure of coronary artery fistulas has emerged as a successful alternative to surgery. We describe various techniques and short-term findings in 15 patients who were taken up for transcatheter closure of these fistulas. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen patients (aged 2-55 years; 12 males) with coronary artery fistulas underwent percutaneous transcatheter closure between J...
