Coronary artery fistulas are usually diagnosed accidentally without the presence of any symptoms. On the other hand, the combination of fistula between the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and pulmonary artery (PA) and severe stenosis of the LAD, as in this case report, is a potential life-threatening condition. A 72-year-old patient was treated surgically after being diagnosed with fistula between the LAD and PA, severe stenosis of the LAD, and severe pulmonary hypertension. In following paragraphs, the case of this man and significant issues regarding the development and management of coronary artery fistulas are analyzed.
冠状动脉瘘通常在没有任何症状的情况下被偶然诊断出来。另一方面,如本病例报告所示,左前降支(LAD)与肺动脉(PA)之间存在瘘管且LAD严重狭窄,这是一种潜在的危及生命的情况。一名72岁患者在被诊断出LAD与PA之间存在瘘管、LAD严重狭窄以及严重肺动脉高压后接受了手术治疗。在接下来的段落中,将分析该男子的病例以及冠状动脉瘘的发生和管理方面的重要问题。
