Bilateral coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistulas associated with giant aneurysm in an elderly woman: Case report and literature review.

Project description:Coronary artery fistula is an abnormal vascular communication of coronary artery with cardiac chambers or any segment of the systemic or pulmonary circulation. The prevalence is 0.9% of all coronary anomalies. Coronary artery fistula arises from the right coronary artery in approximately 50.0% of patients, from left coronary artery in approximately 42.0% of patients, and from both in approximately 5.0% of patients. Low-pressure structures are the most common sites of drainage of the coronary fistulas. If a large left-to-right shunt exists, it can be associated with potential complications, such as arterial aneurysm. Here we report an extremely rare case of a 76-year-old woman with bilateral coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistulas associated with giant aneurysms, detected by coronary angiography and confirmed with coronary computed tomography.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection of ramus intermedius in an elderly woman.

Project description:Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of myocardial ischemia commonly seen in younger patients, particularly women. Patients often present similar to those with acute coronary syndrome (ACS); however, they often are missing the classic risk factors that are typically associated with coronary artery disease. Differentiating between SCAD and ACS is vital as they are managed differently with up to 80% of SCAD being managed conservatively. We present a case of 61-year-old woman with no previous cardiac history presenting with chest pain and was found to have spontaneous coronary artery dissection on coronary angiography.

Spontaneous closure of congenital coronary artery fistulas.

Project description:Six cases of full spontaneous closure of congenital coronary artery fistulas, and one case of near closure, as seen by colour Doppler echocardiography, are presented. It is worth reconsidering the classical view that nearly all cases of spontaneous closure are eligible for surgical or percutaneous correction to prevent the development of significant and potentially fatal complications. As the natural course of coronary artery fistulas is still poorly defined, asymptomatic patients, especially those under 7 years old with small shunts, should be periodically followed up by echocardiography rather than be subjected to operative closure, even by catheterisation.

Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease in a Patient With Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy With Coronary Artery-to-Left Ventricle Fistulas.

Project description:Coexistence of coronary artery-to-left ventricle fistula (CALVF) and noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCC) is rare in patients with severe multiple coronary stenosis. We report CALVF in a 70-year-old man with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and NCC. Left ventricular ejection fraction may not improve by total revascularization in this condition. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Anesthetic implications for coexisting cardiac capillary hemangioma and multiple coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistulas.

Project description:Abnormalities of the coronary vascular branches and cardiac hemangiomas represent together unusual clinical entities, with an incidence difficult to establish for the former as the vast majority of the patients with these anomalous vascular connections are usually asymptomatic and 2.8% for the latter. Symptomatic patients may develop dyspnea on exertion or chest pain secondary to a "coronary steal" phenomenon as part of the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. The authors report a case of a patient with concomitant cardiac capillary hemangioma with multiple coronary to pulmonary artery fistula connections that was successfully treated with surgical resection of the tumor and ligation of the fistula tracts. A comprehensive and balanced anesthesia management aimed to preserve tight hemodynamic stability to avoid increased myocardial demand and worsening of the coronary steal becomes essential in these patients.

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Chest Pain in a Young Woman.

Project description:We present two cases of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). Both examples encourage a broad differential and open mind for chest pain in a young woman. We also highlight a case of SCAD where the patient presented following ventricular fibrillation arrest, a less common though potentially fatal consequence of SCAD.
