Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are rare and often asymptomatic, but severe complications can occur, resulting in heart failure and cardiac arrhythmia. They have been associated with iatrogenic or traumatic injuries as well as systemic inflammatory conditions. However, there have been very few documented cases of pregnancy associated CAFs. We observed a case of left circumflex to left atrium fistula in a 37-year-old female presenting with insidious onset of progressive dyspnea during pregnancy.
冠状动脉瘘(CAFs)较为罕见,通常无症状,但可能发生严重并发症,导致心力衰竭和心律失常。它们与医源性或创伤性损伤以及全身性炎症性疾病有关。然而,妊娠相关的冠状动脉瘘的文献记载病例非常少。我们观察到一例37岁女性,妊娠期间出现隐匿性渐进性呼吸困难,诊断为左旋支至左心房瘘。
