“…1,2 Although most patients with such anomalies are asymptomatic, early treatment is recommended to prevent complications such as congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, myocardial ischemia or infarction, fistula rupture with cardiac tamponade, and infective endocarditis. 3,4 Some authors even recommend closure of all congenital fistulae during infancy when patients are asymptomatic.…”

BackgroundTranscatheter closure of coronary artery fistulae (CAF) has emerged as an alternative to surgery, but there are no long‐term outcome results.ObjectiveWe report immediate and long‐term results in 24 patients after transcatheter closure of congen‐ ital CAF.MethodsA total of 24 patients aged 5 to 56 years old with congenital CAF underwent attempted percutaneous transcatheter closure using various devices between November 1998 and August 2008. The immediate closure results and clinical follow‐up were reviewed.ResultsOf the 24 patients, 20 (83.3%) underwent successful transcatheter closure using various devices. An angiogram right after device deployment revealed complete occlusion in 15 patients (75%) and trivial‐ to mild‐ residual flow in 5 patients (25%). Four patients (20%) had transient ST‐T wave changes after the procedure. The left ventricular end‐diastolic volume decreased from 165±31.4 mm3 to 128.6±24.4 mm3 (P = 0.012) 24 hours after procedure, and the cardiothoracic ratio from 0.57±0.02 to 0.53±0.01 (P = 0.003). Follow‐up was 100% complete and ranged from 3 months to 10 years. There were no early or late deaths. All patients were asymptomatic with complete closure of CAF except 1 patient (5%) who had a recurrence of shunt at 6‐month follow‐up, which was re‐closed by percutaneous technique.ConclusionTranscatheter closure of CAF is feasible and safe in anatomically suitable vessels and is a promising alternative to surgery in most patients.

“…57% of symptomatic patients present with anginal chest pain, which occurs primarily due to coronary steal phenomena. 5 The incidence of CAF originating from LCA is 42.4%, from RCA is 12.1% and from both is 45.5%. 5 The commonest draining site of CAF is pulmonary artery (76.8-84.8%), 6 followed by cardiac chamber and bronchial artery (8.9%) and rarely in superior vena cava (1.8%).…”

313IMAGING IN CARDIOLOGY Combination of imaging modalities in a coronary artery fistula A 35-year-old woman was referred for diagnostic evaluation of stitching pain under her left breast. The pain was not related to exercise. There were no cardiovascular risk factors. Physical examination, routine blood testing and chest X-ray were normal. Her ECG showed abnormal ST segments in III and aVF, and down-sloping ST segments with negative T waves in V 3 to V 4 .
