“…Coronary artery fistulas are present in 0.002% of the general population and are visualised in nearly 0.25% of the patients undergoing cardiac catheterisation [16]. The majority of the fistulas drain into the PA or right ventricle, but fistulae may also drain into anywhere from between the vena cava or CS to the PA or LA [6].…”

“…They are frequently associated with other congenital cardiac defects like atrial septal defect, tetralogy ofFallot, patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect,and pulmonary atresia. [6][7][8][9] Edwards classification of primary and secondary fistulas define primary fistula as the main pathological lesion and secondary fistula occurs as a consequence of other cardiac malformations such as aortic or pulmonary atresia. The secondary fistula are rare and we describe all cases of primary CAF in our case series.…”

Objective: To describe the clinical, angiographic profile and management strategies of patients of coronary pulmonary arterial fistulas presenting to a tertiary care center in a developing country. Methods: All patients with coronary pulmonary artery fistula (CPAF) diagnosed using coronary angiogram in last two years i.e. 2011-2013 in a tertiary care center in South India were included in the study. Ten adult patients were treated for coronary pulmonary artery fistulas. Results: Mean age was 56± 7.7 years (range 45-80 years) with no gender preponderance. Chest pain was the predominant symptom in 60 % of patients followed by giddiness and syncope. Only 20 % patients were found to have continuous or systolic murmur on auscultation. Majority of the fistulas were found to be originating from the left anterior descending artery (LAD), most commonly from proximal segment (n = 5). Majority (n = 9) responded to conservative management while one patient required surgical intervention. Conclusion: Coronary pulmonary arterial fistulas are rare coronary anomaly which often goes unnoticed. CPAF was most frequently seen in middle age with male preponderance arising from proximal LAD. Patients present with diverse clinical presentations and subtle clinical findings. Majority of them being functionally insignificant, need only conservative measures.

Coronary cameral fistulae symptomatic with unstable angina

Coronary arterial fistula is a rare defect characterized by a connection between one or more of the coronary arteries and a cardiac chamber or great vessel. Complications include 'steal' from the adjacent myocardium, thrombosis and embolism, cardiac failure, atrial fibrillation, rupture, endocarditis/endarteritis and arrhythmias.Here we report the case of a 73-year-old female that was admitted for unstable angina. Coronary angiography revealed the presence of multiple large coronary-cameral fistula. CT scan confirmed the presence of ecstasis of the left main artery, associated with coronary-cameral fistulae between left ventricle and ramus intermedius artery and the circumflex artery.
