Congenital coronary arteriovenous fistulas are rare anomalies. Patients may present with congestive heart failure, ischemic chest pain, or endocarditis. In this case, transesophageal echocardiography provided valuable additional information to that obtained from cardiac catheterization, which was essential for the diagnosis and planning of surgical correction.
先天性冠状动脉瘘是罕见的异常情况。患者可能出现充血性心力衰竭、缺血性胸痛或心内膜炎。在该病例中,经食管超声心动图提供了从心导管检查中获得的有价值的额外信息,这对手术矫正的诊断和规划至关重要。
