Congenital coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are an uncommon congenital anomaly. While most patients are asymptomatic, life-threatening events including sudden death, myocardial ischemia, heart failure, infective endocarditis, and rupture of aneurysm may occur. Surgical ligation was once the standard choice of management of CAFs in the past. However, transcatheter closure of CAFs has become an emerging alternative to surgery in patients with suitable anatomy. We reported a 7-month-old infant with a giant and tortuous CAF that originated from the distal right coronary artery and drained into the right ventricle, and was successfully treated by transcatheter closure with an Amplatzer ductus occluder.
先天性冠状动脉瘘(CAFs)是一种罕见的先天性异常。虽然大多数患者无症状,但可能会发生危及生命的事件,包括猝死、心肌缺血、心力衰竭、感染性心内膜炎和动脉瘤破裂。手术结扎曾经是过去治疗CAFs的标准选择。然而,对于解剖结构合适的患者,经导管封堵CAFs已成为一种新兴的手术替代方法。我们报告了一名7个月大的婴儿,患有巨大且迂曲的CAF,起源于右冠状动脉远端,引流至右心室,并通过使用Amplatzer动脉导管封堵器经导管封堵成功治疗。
