BACKGROUND Coronary arteriovenous fistula is a rare congenital or acquired abnormal connection between a coronary artery and any of the great vessels or any of the heart chambers. Most of them are diagnosed during routine coronary angiography. CASE REPORT This case report illustrates a successful surgical ligating of multiple right coronary artery and circumflex artery fistulas to coronary si...

Transradial access is a widely accepted method for percutaneous coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures, and it has dramatically reduced access site vascular complications compared to transfemoral access. Arteriovenous fistula formation at the access site is an especially rare complication in transradial access. We report an extremely rare case of delayed radial arteriovenous fistula ...

The Doppler echocardiographic features of coronary arteriovenous fistula were investigated in eight patients with left or right coronary arteriovenous fistulas who had a continuous heart murmur in the upper precordial area and whose diagnoses were confirmed by coronary angiography. In four patients the dilated lumen of the coronary arteriovenous fistula was visualised by cross sectional echocar...

DOI: 10.5935/abc.20140160 An 80-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of an acute coronary syndrome. He had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) 12 years ago, which involved a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft to the left anterior descending coronary artery. Direct LIMA injection revealed an arteriovenous fistula between the distal portion of a grossly dilated LI...

patients with end stage renal disease need a good vascular access for hemodialysis. arteriovenous fistula is the method of choice for vascular access in these patients. however, failure of arteriovenous fistula due to thrombosis is a major problem. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the heparin on the patency of the arteriovenous fistula. this prospective interventional case co...

A coronary arteriovenous (AV) fistula consists of a communication between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber, a great artery or the vena cava. It is the most common anomaly that can affect coronary perfusion. Yet bilateral involvement of a coronary fistula, constitutes an uncommon subgroup of coronary AV fistulas. We herein report on a case of bilateral coronary AV fistula that was coexist...

Background: Spinal dural AVF is the most common type of spinal vascular malformation. However, presenting symptoms differ according to site of spinal involvement. This study described a case of arteriovenous malformation with paraparesis and incontinence. Case Presentation: Diagnosis of patient was confirmed by clinical and imaging examination using magnetic resonance image and ruling out ot...
