Project description:Fetal heart failure and hydrops fetalis may occur due to systemic arteriovenous fistula because of increased cardiac output. Arteriovenous fistula of the central nervous system, liver, bone or vascular tumors such as sacrococcygeal teratoma were previously reported to be causes of intrauterine heart failure. However, coronary arteriovenous fistula was not reported as a cause of fetal heart failure previously. It is a rare pathology comprising 0.2-0.4% of all congenital heart diseases even during postnatal life. Some may remain asymptomatic for many years and diagnosed by auscultation of a continuous murmur during a routine examination, while a larger fistulous coronary artery opening to a low pressure cardiac chamber may cause ischemia of the affected myocardial region due to steal phenomenon and may present with cardiomyopathy or congestive heart failure during childhood. We herein report a neonate with coronary arteriovenous fistula between the left main coronary artery and the right ventricular apex, who presented with hydrops fetalis during the third trimester of pregnancy.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have not described the relationship between reducing radial artery diameter as well as increasing age and functional maturation of the radio-cephalic arteriovenous fistula (RCAVF) and no data identify these as linear relationship. The objective of this study was to perform trend analysis to assess these aspects.MethodsOur retrospective cohort study enrolled and analyzed 353 follow-up cases that underwent first AVF creation. The artery and vein sizes were measured by ultrasound. We performed follow-up, a minimum of 3 months after surgery. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors inmaturation. Participant age was categorized into four groups (age ≤ 29, 30-49, 50-69, and 70-90 years). Radial artery diameter was categorized into four groups (≤ 1.9, >1.9 and ≤ 2.1, >2.1 and ≤ 2.4, >2.4 mm) according to median and interquartile ranges. We adjusted for confounders in four logistic models, and primary analyses were based on building ordered category models and tested P values for trends to estimate the relationship of radial artery diameter and each 20-year increase in age with risk of maturation.ResultsThe mature RCAVF group included 301 cases, and the immature group included 52 cases. Radial artery diameter, age, and diabetes were independent risk factors of maturation. Odds ratios (ORs) associated with maturation reduced with increasing age, while ORs increased with increasing radial artery diameter. P values for trends(<0.05) were observed in all four models. A reduction in radial artery diameter and higher age were significantly associated with a higher incidence of immaturity after adjusting the multivariate models. The risks of immaturation were increased by more than 1.54 fold for each 20-year increase and increased by more than 1.34 fold for the smaller radial artery diameter group.ConclusionOur findings suggest that a significantly higher immaturity risk of RCAVF was associated with increasing age and a reduction in radial artery diameter. Our study identified a linear exposure-response relationship of age and radial artery diameter with immaturity incident. A careful selection of patients will be helpful in improving AVF functional maturation.

Project description:Coronary Arteriovenous Fistula (CAF) is a rare defect that occurs in 0.1-0.2% of patients undergoing coronary angiography; Coronary Artery Aneurism (CAA) also occurs in approximately 15-19% of patients with CAF. It is usually congenital, but in rare occasions it occurs after chest trauma, cardiac surgery, or coronary interventions. The case described is that of a 72-year-old woman, without previous history of cardiovascular disease, who presented a huge cardiac mass. A multimodal approach was necessary to diagnose a giant CAA with CAF responsible for compression and displacement of cardiac structures. Due to likely congenitally origin of the lesion and the absence of symptoms correlated to the CAA and to the CAF we decided to avoid invasive interventions and to treat the patient with medical therapy.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are uncommon, and giant aneurysms (>2 cm) are even more unusual. Coronary atherosclerosis and Kawasaki disease are the leading causes for this pathology. The treatment for this condition is controversial because the evidence is based on case report series.Case summaryWe describe the case of a 77-year-old female patient who presented with heart failure symptoms. She was diagnosed with a giant saccular aneurysm arising from the right coronary artery (RCA) ostium and a fistula between the RC and the left anterior descending artery (LAD) to the coronary sinus. And an atrial septal defect (ASD) and severe tricuspid regurgitation were also found. The patient underwent surgery through a medium sternotomy, the aneurysm was opened and resected under cardiopulmonary bypass. The RCA was ligated at the distal end of the aneurysm, and a saphenous vein graft bypass was performed. A coronary arteriovenous fistula from the distal portion of RC and LAD artery to a severely enlarged coronary sinus was found and corrected with an autologous pericardial patch. Closure of the ASD was performed with a pericardial patch and a tricuspid ring annuloplasty was done. Post-operative course was uneventful.DiscussionThere are few cases of giant coronary aneurysms associated with fistulas reported in the literature. Despite the endovascular percutaneous techniques available to treat these patients, we believe that surgical treatment was the best option for this particular case. We consider that surgical treatment is a very good option for giant CAAs associated with AV fistulas that are not susceptible for current endovascular available devices. The literature lacks evidence regarding the best approach for these cases, and we think that invasive treatment should be tailored according to the heart's anatomy and patient risk.

Project description:Iatrogenic aortocoronary arteriovenous fistula is a very rare complication of coronary artery bypass grafting in which one of the arterial grafts inadvertently forms a fistulous tract with a cardiac vein, shunting blood from the anastomosed coronary artery. We report a patient with an iatrogenic left internal mammary artery graft to cardiac vein fistula presenting with recurrent angina three years after a three-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting.

Project description:Rates of arteriovenous fistula maturation failure are still high, especially when suboptimal size veins are used. During successful maturation, the vein undergoes lumen dilatation and medial thickening, adapting to the increased hemodynamic forces. The vascular extracellular matrix plays an important role in regulating these adaptive changes and may be a target for promoting fistula maturation. In this study, we tested whether a device-enabled photochemical treatment of the vein prior to fistula creation facilitates maturation. Sheep cephalic veins were treated using a balloon catheter coated by a photoactivatable molecule (10-8-10 Dimer) and carrying an internal light fiber. As a result of the photochemical reaction, new covalent bonds were created during light activation among oxidizable amino acids of the vein wall matrix proteins. The treated vein lumen diameter and media area became significantly larger than the contralateral control fistula vein at 1 week (p = 0.035 and p = 0.034, respectively). There was also a higher percentage of proliferating smooth muscle cells in the treated veins than in the control veins (p = 0.029), without noticeable intimal hyperplasia. To prepare for the clinical testing of this treatment, we performed balloon over-dilatation of isolated human veins and found that veins can tolerate up to 66% overstretch without notable histological damage.
