Prenatal diagnosis of a right coronary artery to right atrial fistula with a giant coronary artery aneurysm: A case report

Abstract

Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare cardiac anomaly. Here, we diagnosed a right coronary artery‐right atrium fistula with giant coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) via fetal echocardiography at 35 weeks' gestation. An urgent caesarean delivery was performed at 36 weeks' gestation because CAA caused mitral obstruction, and fetal atrial flutter was present. Following delivery, we performed aneurysm ligation because the new‐born developed atrial tachycardia. The intraoperative findings confirmed the sonographic findings. To the best of our knowledge, prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of CAF and giant CAA has not been reported in the literature. We focus on the ultrasonic characteristics and differential diagnosis in this literature.
