| Popis: |
Coronary artery fistulas are rare congenital or acquired cardiac abnormalities that are often asymptomatic. Small coronary artery fistulae are not uncommon, detected incidentally and require no treatment. Symptomatic and/or hemodynamically significant coronary artery fistulas must be considered for closure. This report describes the treatment of a proximal coronary artery fistula between the left anterior descending artery and the pulmonary artery in a 66-year-old female patient, who presented with shortness of breath on exertion. Percutaneous intervention was successfully completed with vascular coils. |
