“…Chest pain at rest, palpitations, exhaustion, and exertional dyspnoea are among the symptoms and may be asymptomatic. Treatment of patients with coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) is based on the presence of symptoms, the anatomy and size of the fistula, and whether it is connected to cardiovascular diseases [11].…”

Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare anatomic abnormality of the coronary arteries that results from abnormal communication between a coronary artery and either the chambers of the heart or the great vessels that bypass the myocardial capillary bed. It is usually congenital, but it can be acquired. Both male and females are affected. Clinical presentation may be asymptomatic or symptomatic and it depends on the type of fistula, size of the fistula, site of the shunt and severity of the shunt. Coronary angiography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of coronary artery fistula. Surgery is indicated when a patient is clinically symptomatic, even in asymptomatic patients those are at risk for future complications.

Background: A coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an aberrant vascular contact of coronary arteries with cardiac chambers or any section of the pulmonary or systemic circulation, which accounts for 0.3% of congenital heart disorders. CAFs have been observed to be as common as 0.9% at computed tomographic (CT) angiography, which is greater than the previously estimated prevalence of 0.002 – 0.3% at invasive angiography. Case Summary: A 76-year-old woman reported with repeated episodes of chest pain. A considerable diameter of fistula from the proximal LAD and proximal RCA to the MPA was discovered on CT angiography, which could be the cause of coronary steal syndrome. Microflex10 7 mm/22 cm was used to perform coil embolization at the proximal RCA. After the procedure, the patient had no more chest pain. Discussion: CT angiography is usefsul for determining coronary architecture and guiding therapeutic intervention. CAF data was gathered during pre- and post-procedural CT angiography evaluations.

“…Most CAF originates from the left main (LM), the left anterior descending artery or the right coronary artery (RCA) and drains into the pulmonary artery (PA), left and right atrium or right ventricle . The treatment of patients with CAF depends on the presence of symptoms, anatomy, and size of the CAF and whether the patient has further associated cardiovascular diseases …”
