Coronary artery fistulas are rare congenital coronary artery abnormalities, with direct communication between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber, great vessel or other structure.
We report a case of a large coronary artery fistula connecting the left main coronary artery with the superior vena cava in a 70-year-old patient undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography for a non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The patient rejected closure of the fistula and remains asymptomatic on follow-up.
Angiographic recognition of coronary artery fistulas is important for the appropriate diagnosis and management of patients. Hippokratia 2015; 19 (2):186-188.
冠状动脉瘘是一种罕见的先天性冠状动脉异常,表现为冠状动脉与心腔、大血管或其他结构之间存在直接连通。
我们报告一例70岁患者,因非ST段抬高型心肌梗死接受诊断性冠状动脉造影时,发现左主干冠状动脉与上腔静脉之间存在巨大冠状动脉瘘。该患者拒绝封堵瘘管,随访期间无症状。
冠状动脉瘘的血管造影识别对于患者的正确诊断和管理至关重要。《希波克拉底》2015年;19(2):186 - 188。
