Abstract

Coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAF) is a rare form of congenital heart disease. However, it is the most common type of congenital anomaly of the coronary arteries. [1] When there is the connection between the coronary artery and the chambers of the heart, it is called a coronary chamber fistula. The fistula may also be between a coronary artery and another adjacent vessel from the pulmonary or systemic circulation. An open fistula provides low-resistance flow by directing blood from an artery into a vein, heart chamber, or other low-pressure vessel such as the pulmonary artery. Patients with CAF may develop symptoms at birth or later in life, depending on the type of fistula and the presence of collateral circulation. Studies have reported an association between ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death syndromes in young adults and athletes with certain types of coronary anomalies, such as anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) [2-5]. The most common symptom is a myocardial ischemia. The purpose of this article is to present a clinical case of endovascular treatment of coronary pulmonary fistula. As a result of a modern diagnostic methods, such as CT angiography with three-dimensional reconstruction, it is not difficult to assess the degree and nature of the pathology. Having assessed the tactics, modern doctors are able to cope with coronary arteriovenous fistulas with great success using minimally invasive X-ray endovascular technologies.
