“…The incidence of severe adverse reactions to ultrasound contrast agents is no greater and may be lower than that reported for the contrast agents commonly used in other cardiac imaging tests. (8) Previously, CAF has been diagnosed with aortography, (10) coronary angiography, (11), and coronary CT. (13) Although there has been a case of color Doppler assessment of a CAF, (12) we cannot readily confirm them with echocardiography. In this study, we employed a new and simple diagnostic approach for CAF using a contrast agent.…”

Introduction: Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare cardiac anomaly that typically presents as a continuous murmur in an otherwise asymptomatic patient. Occasionally, it can result in congestive heart failure or bacterial endocarditis. Objective: To better delineate the course of coronary artery fistula using an intracoronary injection of SonoVue contrast agent, whilst performing transthoracic echocardiography. Method and results: A referred 46-year-old male, with a history of exertional dyspnea for almost three months, was admitted to the hospital with progressive dyspnea, and assessed under suspicion of CAF. CAF was seen with a coronary angiogram, but the exact entry point in the left ventricle or left atrial wall could not be determined. CT angiography also failed to establish the drainage site , so CAG (coronary angiography) was repeated with the SonoVue contrast agent injected into LM (Left main) while using a Siemens echocardiography machine. Multiple views were obtained during the injection and revealed unusual flow in the left ventricle just below the PML (posterior mitral leaflet) and passing through the fistula to LV. Conclusion: Contrast-Enhanced Echocardiography by direct intracoronary injection of SonoVue contrast agent, is safe and can aid in the delineation of fistula drainage.

“…The presence of a coronary artery fistula between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber is a rare condition, occurring in only 0.2% of patients who have undergone cardiac catheterization (1,2). The majority of these cases result in a left-to-right shunt, where the fistulae drain into a right cardiac structure.…”

Diffuse Plexus-Like Coronary Artery-Left Ventricular Fistulae Leading to Coronary Steal Syndrome: A Pattern of Anomalous Coronary Microvascularization

et al. 2013

Coronary artery fistulae that drain into the left ventricle are extremely rare, and even fewer cases of fistulae involving all three of the coronary arteries have so far been reported. We herein report a 64-year-old woman with a unique pattern of coronary artery-left ventricular fistulae that involved all three of the coronary arteries. The multiple fistulae presented in a diffuse plexus-like arrangement. The fistulae resulted in a diastolic volume overload of the left ventricle (left-to-left shunt), as well as "coronary steal" with the shunting of blood away from the myocardium since the fistulae represented the path of least resistance.

In this study, the CIE whiteness (CIE WI) and whiteness tint (T w ) of optically whitened (OWA) woven (plain and twill) polyester fabrics irradiated with xenon arc light were investigated. The fabrics were whitened in four concentrations using nine different commercial optical whitening agents, and were irradiated with xenon arc light under specific conditions between 0 and 100 h at 10-h intervals. The reflectance of the OWA fabrics was measured by using spectrophotometer, whereas the CIE WI and T w values were calculated by using computer software. The results were investigated by statistical methods using analysis of variance and regression curves in which of the CIE WI of OWA polyester fabrics was found to decrease, while the T w was also affected depending on irradiation time from the xenon arc light.
