Congenital coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are uncommon abnormalities. A connection between the left main stem and main pulmonary artery is extremely rare. Congenital CAFs are frequently associated with another congenital heart disease. Associated anomalies include atrial septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary atresia. Association of bicuspid aortic valve with CAF has not been reported in literature to date. We report on a 68-year-old man with congenital left main to pulmonary artery fistula associated with bicuspid aortic valve and moderate aortic stenoses, who underwent successful aortic valve replacement with ligation of CAF and also review the natural history, pathophysiology, and management of CAF.
先天性冠状动脉瘘(CAF)是一种罕见的异常情况。左主干与主肺动脉之间的连接极为罕见。先天性CAF常与另一种先天性心脏病相关。相关的异常包括房间隔缺损、法洛四联症、动脉导管未闭、室间隔缺损和肺动脉闭锁。迄今为止,文献中尚未报道二叶式主动脉瓣与CAF的关联。我们报告了一名68岁男性,患有先天性左主干至肺动脉瘘,伴有二叶式主动脉瓣和中度主动脉狭窄,该患者成功接受了主动脉瓣置换术并结扎了CAF,同时还回顾了CAF的自然病史、病理生理学和治疗方法。
