Dual coronary - cameral fistula "double the trouble".

ABSTRACT: A patient presenting with worsening dyspnea and left-sided chest pain underwent heart catheterization, found to have a rare connection between the right and left coronary arteries draining into the left ventricle, consistent with dual coronary-cameral fistula.

Perioperative implications of Coronary-cameral fistula.

Project description:Coronary-cameral fistulas (CCFs) are mostly congenital in origin and rarely acquired. Clinical symptoms are decided by the hemodynamic significance of the coronary fistula. Even in asymptomatic patients, it is essential to know about coronary CCF particularly if the patient is to undergo cardiac surgery with cardioplegic cardiac arrest. Incidental finding of coronary CCF should never be ignored. Intraoperative myocardial protection and methods used are significantly influenced by such fistula.

A coronary cameral fistula treated with coil embolization.

Project description:A 56-year-old man who had twice previously undergone orthotopic heart transplantation was admitted with dyspnea and heart failure symptoms. A biopsy excluded rejection. Left heart catheterization revealed a coronary cameral fistula. After the patient was given mild diuretics, his condition improved. No significant fistula flow was detected, and he was discharged. Several months later, the patient was readmitted with worsening chest pain and dyspnea. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and flow through the fistula were increased. To correct the coronary cameral fistula, we performed a coil embolization without complications. Several months later at follow-up, the patient's symptoms had resolved, and his left ventricular end-diastolic pressure had normalized. We conclude that coronary fistulas may be caused by trauma to the heart during the de-airing process, which may be prevented in the future with the development of safer and more effective de-airing techniques.

A rare case of dual congenital coronary cameral fistula and myocardial bridge: A case report.

Project description:RationaleA coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an anomalous communication between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or great vessel. It is a rare congenital anomaly that is often small and asymptomatic, occurring in only 0.002% of the general population. Most CAFs originate from the right coronary artery and flow into the right cardiac system. Although extremely rare, some cases may originate from the bilateral coronary arteries and flow into the left ventricle.Patient concernsHerein, we report a rare case of a 55-year-old male smoker with no history of heart disease or cardiac surgery, who presented with a 5-year history of recurrent chest congestion, palpitations, and shortness of breath. On physical examination, his heart and lungs revealed normal findings without cardiac murmurs and no systemic or pulmonary edema. Moreover, 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiography showed no signs of ischemia but exhibited a short array of ventricular tachycardia and short atrial tachycardia. Chest computed tomography showed left apical emphysema without cardiomegaly and pulmonary congestion. Furthermore, coronary angiography revealed dual congenital coronary cameral fistula, a complex CAF with a left circumflex artery-left ventricle fistula and a right coronary artery-left ventricle fistula, complicated with a myocardial bridge.Diagnosis and interventionsA diagnosis of left circumflex artery-left ventricle fistula complicated with a right coronary artery-left ventricle fistula and myocardial bridge was made. Since the patient refused surgery, medical management with enteric-coated aspirin, sustained-release metoprolol, and atorvastatin calcium was initiated.Outcomes and lessonCurrently, the patient is now asymptomatic and in good condition since 6 months after undergoing conservative treatment with β-blockers.

Acquired Coronary Cameral Fistula Mimicking Prosthetic Aortic Valve Regurgitation.

Project description:A coronary cameral fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between a coronary artery and any of the 4 cardiac chambers. Although congenital cases are more common, acquired CCFs, particularly after cardiac surgery, are rare. We present an unusual case of acquired CCF that occurred after bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement and septal myectomy and that mimics prosthetic regurgitation.

Coronary cameral fistula and its complications: A case report.

Project description:Coronary cameral fistulas (CCFs) are rare arteriovenous malformations that may be congenital or acquired. The presentation of CCFs varies from asymptomatic in early age to symptomatic and start of complications upon aging. Although percutaneous closure with embolization can also be done, surgical closure of CCFs is a gold standard of treatment. We present the case of a 20-year-old patient with a fistula connecting right coronary artery and the right atrium, along with aortic valve endocarditis and congestive cardiac failure.

Endocarditis Associated With Coronary Cameral Fistula Presenting With Intracranial Hemorrhage.

Project description:Coronary cameral fistulas are rare anomalous connections between coronary circulation and cardiac chambers. Coronary cameral fistulas are often asymptomatic but may cause volume overload on impacted chambers, and also create high velocity turbulent diastolic flow which may predispose patients to endocarditis. This paper presents a unique case of infective endocarditis revealed by intracerebral hemorrhage with a mycotic aneurysm in a patient who was found to have a nonvalvular infective endocarditis located on the mitral anterolateral papillary muscle, at the ventricular site of entrance of a large coronary cameral fistula.
