We present a 33-year-old man with atypical chest pain and with no significant past medical history. The patient was finally diagnosed as a case of huge fistula from the left main coronary artery to the right atrium, a very rare condition with challenging diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The majority of cases of coronary artery fistula are small, asymptomatic and clinically undetectable; they frequently do not cause any complications and can spontaneously resolve. However, larger fistulas are frequently three times the size of a typical caliber of a coronary artery and may or may not cause symptoms or complications.
我们报告一名33岁男性,有非典型胸痛症状,既往无重大病史。该患者最终被诊断为左冠状动脉主干至右心房巨大瘘管,这是一种非常罕见的疾病,诊断和治疗方法都颇具挑战性。大多数冠状动脉瘘病例较小,无症状,临床难以察觉;它们通常不会引起任何并发症,且可自行缓解。然而,较大的瘘管通常是冠状动脉典型管径的三倍大小,可能会也可能不会引起症状或并发症。
