Congenital coronary sinus anomalies are rare in clinical practice, partly due to the lack of symptoms. We present a case of coronary sinus anomaly causing a right-to-left intracardiac shunt in a 46 years/old African American female with a past medical history of obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and ischemic cardiomyopathy who presented with hypoxia. In the months prior to her presentation, she had suffered an inferior myocardial infarction with right ventricular involvement, as well as resulting severe tricuspid regurgitation. In conclusion, further investigations revealed a communication between the coronary sinus (CS) and left atrium (LA).
先天性冠状静脉窦异常在临床实践中较为罕见,部分原因是缺乏症状。我们报告一例冠状静脉窦异常导致心内右向左分流的病例,患者为一名46岁的非裔美国女性,既往有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停、糖尿病、高血压、冠状动脉疾病和缺血性心肌病病史,此次因缺氧就诊。在就诊前几个月,她发生了累及右心室的下壁心肌梗死,并由此导致严重的三尖瓣反流。总之,进一步检查发现冠状静脉窦(CS)与左心房(LA)之间存在交通。
