Coronary Artery Fistula: A Diagnostic Dilemma

Rajesh Kumar,
Jathinder Kumar,
Cormac O’Connor
et al.

Abstract: Coronary artery fistula (CAF), although one of the rare coronary anomalies, is becoming increasingly more detectable in the recent years due to advancements in cardiac diagnostic imaging. Its long-term prognostic implications and importance for the cardiovascular system remain a dilemma for cardiologists and patients. Based on a variety of haemodynamic symptoms and complications, cardiologists must be aware of the characteristics of CAF and the diagnostic importance of multi-slice CT in evaluation, pre-procedu… Show more

“…Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are uncommon anomalies seen in 0.1% to 0.2% of the general population [1]. They are characterized by abnormal connections between coronary arteries and cardiac chambers, adjacent veins, or mediastinal structures [2]. While typically congenital, acquired CAFs have become more prevalent with the rise in cardiac interventions and procedures.…”

“…Congenital coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are a direct communication of the epicardial coronary artery with one of the four cardiac chambers (coronary cameral fistulas-CCFs) or major vessels of the heart or chest (coronary arteriovenous fistulas) [1]. Incidence is 0.002% in the general population [2] and multiple coronary fistulas are found in 5% of cases [3].…”
