Coronary artery fistulae are rare abnormal communications between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or a great vessel which may shunt blood flow away from the myocardial capillary network. Vieussens arterial ring is usually described as a collateral pathway between the left anterior descending and right coronary arteries, pathology of Vieussens arterial ring are exceedingly rare. We present a case of a complex coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula via an aneurysmal Vieussens arterial ring, with emphasis on computerized tomography and invasive angiography findings and management.
冠状动脉瘘是一种罕见的冠状动脉与心腔或大血管之间的异常交通,可使血流从心肌毛细血管网分流。Vieussens 动脉环通常被描述为左前降支和右冠状动脉之间的侧支通路,Vieussens 动脉环的病理学极为罕见。我们报告了一例通过动脉瘤性 Vieussens 动脉环的复杂冠状动脉至肺动脉瘘的病例,重点介绍了计算机断层扫描和介入血管造影的发现和处理。
