Fistel zwischen Koronararterie und Pulmonalarterie

Congenital

coronary anomalies detected by coronary computed tomography compared to invasive coronary angiography. A patient with a complex coronary-pulmonary artery fistula presenting with previous syncope. (a, b) Volume-rendered three-dimensional images show a big plexus of the tortuous vessels arising from the proximal left anterior descending artery. (c) Axial images of the same patient show the course of the fistula ending into a pulmonary vein.

Congenital

coronary anomalies detected by coronary computed tomography compared to invasive coronary angiography. A patient with angina symptoms during exercise stress test revealed a rudimentary fistula from the LAD to the pulmonary artery.

Congenital

coronary anomalies detected by coronary computed tomography compared to invasive coronary angiography. A patient underwent coronary angiography due to inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary images revealed AV-Fistula from the proximal RCA to the pulmonary artery. The (bold arrow) shows the culprit lesion in the mid RCA.

Prevalence

and characteristics of coronary artery anomalies in an adult population undergoing multidetector-row computed tomography for the evaluation of coronary artery disease. 3-D volume rendering images showing the coronary fistula located between the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and the pulmonary artery
