Saccular coronary artery aneurysm, associated with coronary artery fistula, is a very rare condition. A 48-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for the evaluation of an abnormal shadow on the left cardiac border from a chest X-ray film during regular medical health examination. A huge saccular aneurysm with organized thrombi in the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) and coronary artery fistulae from LAD and conus branch of the right coronary artery to pulmonary artery was diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography, multi-detector computer tomography (MDCT), and coronary angiography. The patient received surgical treatment, including thrombectomy of aneurysm, ligation of the inlet and outlet of aneurysmal sac, coronary artery bypass graft (left internal mammary artery-to-distal LAD), and ligation of fistulae. The postoperative course was uneventful, and postoperative echocardiography and MDCT revealed patent bypass graft; however, a small fistula from proximal LAD across aneurysmal sac to pulmonary artery was observed.
囊状冠状动脉瘤伴冠状动脉瘘极为罕见。一名 48 岁女性因常规体检时胸片显示左侧心缘有异常阴影而被转诊至我院。经胸超声心动图、多排计算机断层扫描(MDCT)和冠状动脉造影诊断为左前降支(LAD)近端巨大囊状动脉瘤,瘤内有血栓形成,且存在 LAD 和右冠状动脉圆锥支至肺动脉的冠状动脉瘘。患者接受了手术治疗,包括动脉瘤血栓切除术、囊状瘤入口和出口结扎、冠状动脉旁路移植术(左内乳动脉至 LAD 远端)和瘘结扎。术后过程顺利,术后超声心动图和 MDCT 显示旁路移植术通畅;然而,观察到从 LAD 近端穿过动脉瘤囊至肺动脉的小瘘。
