To highlight gender-related differences in octogenarians with a congenital coronary artery fistula (CAF).
We present two elderly female patients with a congenital fistula, a septuagenarian and a nonagenarian, and review the world literature between 1954-2010.
The septuagenarian patient presented with easy fatigability and the nonagenarian patient with acute myocardial infarction contralaterally to the fistula. Coronary angiography (CAG) demonstrated a coronary-pulmonary artery fistula (CPF). The nonagenarian patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention of the right coronary artery. CAG revealed a CPF associated with a huge multiple aneurysmal formation. Data from 57 mainly symptomatic patients with a mean age of 75.3 years (range 70-87 years) were collected. The cohort was subdivided into female (mean age 84.3 years) and male (mean age 75.2 years) subgroups and compared with each other. Multi-origin (bilateral and multilateral) was prevalent in females, 40% versus 12% in males. Aneurysmal formation was found in females and males in 40% and 18%, respectively. Ethnicity was 65% Caucasian and 35% Asian. Multi-origin fistulas were prevalent in the Asian (45%) compared with the Caucasian (11%) subset.
A septuagenarian and a nonagenarian female patient with congenital CAF are presented. On reviewing the literature, important differences were found between elderly females and males with congenital CAF.
强调 80 岁以上伴有先天性冠状动脉瘘(CAF)患者的性别差异。
我们介绍了 2 例 70 岁和 90 岁的老年女性先天性瘘患者,并回顾了 1954 年至 2010 年期间的世界文献。
70 岁的患者表现为易疲劳,90 岁的患者则表现为瘘侧相反的急性心肌梗死。冠状动脉造影(CAG)显示冠状动脉肺动脉瘘(CPF)。90 岁的患者接受了右冠状动脉经皮冠状动脉介入治疗。CAG 显示 CPF 伴有巨大的多发性动脉瘤形成。收集了 57 例主要表现为症状的患者的数据,平均年龄为 75.3 岁(范围为 70-87 岁)。该队列分为女性(平均年龄 84.3 岁)和男性(平均年龄 75.2 岁)亚组,并进行了相互比较。多起源(双侧和多侧)在女性中更为常见,占 40%,而在男性中仅占 12%。女性和男性的动脉瘤形成分别为 40%和 18%。种族为 65%白种人和 35%亚洲人。多起源瘘在亚洲人群(45%)中比白种人群(11%)更为常见。
