A new report discusses research findings on heart bypass surgery, specifically focusing on the treatment of coronary-pulmonary artery fistulas (CPAFs) during coronary artery bypass grafting. The researchers highlight the lack of best practice guidelines and scarcity of reports on treating CPAFs alongside coronary artery disease. They present a successful case of treating bilateral CPAFs in a 60-year-old man using coronary artery bypass, epicardial ligation, and transpulmonary closure of CPAF with patch reconstruction. The researchers emphasize the importance of optimal myocardial protection and complete closure of the fistula to prevent the risk of coronary steal. [Extracted from the article] |
