A case report of an iatrogenic coronary cameral fistula treated by retrograde percutaneous coronary intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acquired coronary cameral fistula is an extremely rare condition that involves an abnormal communication between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber. It usually occurs after chest trauma or cardiovascular interventions, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is associated with various outcomes, ranging from a stable status to haemodynamic instability. Acquired coronary cameral fistula frequently arises from the right coronary artery and drains generally into the right ventricle.

Case summary

We report the unusual case of a 56-year-old male patient referred to an invasive cardiology centre for a suspected left anterior descending (LAD) coronary-left ventricular (LV) fistula resulting from a primary PCI for an anterior ST-elevation myocardial infar
