Coronary Cameral Fistula: A Rare Case Presenting With Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
Аннотация
Coronary cameral fistulas (CCFs) are uncommon congenital or acquired anomalies characterized by abnormal connections between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber. While often asymptomatic and incidentally detected, symptomatic presentations are rare, and symptoms may vary depending on the size and location of the fistula. We present the case of a 67-year-old female with complaints of intermittent typical cardiac chest pain and exertional dyspnea. Further evaluation revealed a CCF originating from the left anterior descending coronary artery and the left ventricle. Additionally, the patient was found to have pulmonary hypertension on right heart catheterization. This case highlights the importance of considering CCF in the differential diagnosis of chest pain, particularly in the presence of atypical symptoms and associated pulmonary hypertension (WHO Group 4). Further research is warranted to elucidate the optimal management strategies for symptomatic CCF, especially in cases complicated by pulmonary hypertension.
