A 53-year-old male presented to our tertiary medical center with complaints of dyspnea and exertional chest pain with mild left ventricular dysfunction and right ventricular enlargement on echocardiography. Cardiac catheterization showed a congenital right coronary artery fistula communicating with the right sided chambers. Using contrast enhanced multi-detector computed tomography scan, the fistula was clearly draining into the coronary sinus. We describe briefly the etiology of coronary artery fistula, its clinical presentation, and the common tests used to confirm diagnosis. We further discuss the types of treatment modalities that are currently available.
一名53岁男性因呼吸困难和劳力性胸痛就诊于我们的三级医疗中心,超声心动图显示有轻度左心室功能障碍和右心室扩大。心导管检查显示先天性右冠状动脉瘘与右侧心腔相通。使用对比增强多层螺旋计算机断层扫描,瘘管明显引流至冠状窦。我们简要描述冠状动脉瘘的病因、临床表现以及用于确诊的常见检查。我们还进一步讨论了目前可用的治疗方式类型。
