Congenital coronary artery-left ventricular multiple micro-fistulas and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery-left ventricular multiple micro-fistulas (CA-LVMMFs) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly that may present with no obvious clinical symptoms or a typical angina attack. CA-LVMMFs is usually found unexpectedly during coronary angiography (CAG).

Case presentation

We report a case of a 65-year-old man admitted to the hospital with acute coronary syndrome. CA-LVMMFs was found during coronary angiography. Echocardiography showed apical hypertrophy and blood flow signals were seen in the apical myocardium, connected with the left ventricle. We searched the MEDLINE database and found 39 relevant reports. We made statistics on the clinical characteristics of these patients and found half involved hypertrophy or perfusion defects in the ventricular septum
