초록
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare congenital malformation, comprising less than 1% of all congenital heart disease. Most fistulas drain into the right-sided heart chambers or pulmonary artery, and termination in left heart chambers is an uncommon finding. Clinical presentation mainly depends on the severity of the left-to-right shunt, and adult patients usually do not develop any symptom. There are few case reports relating CAF manifested as an exceptional form of sudden unexpected death. We experienced a case of a 62-year-old male with a single CAF arising from left main coronary artery which drains into the left ventricle, and reported with review of the related articles.
Abstract
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare congenital malformation, comprising less than 1% of all congenital heart disease. Most fistulas drain into the right-sided heart chambers or pulmonary artery, and termination in left heart chambers is an uncommon finding. Clinical presentation mainly depends on the severity of the left-to-right shunt, and adult patients usually do not develop any symptom. There are few case reports relating CAF manifested as an exceptional form of sudden unexpected death. We experienced a case of a 62-year-old male with a single CAF arising from left main coronary artery which drains into the left ventricle, and reported with review of the related articles.
