AbstractWe describe a patient with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum in whom the right atrium was divided by a vascular aneurysm located in the right atrioventricular groove. We postulate that the structure represents an aneursymally dilated right coronary artery taking anomalous origin from the pulmonary trunk, with fistulous communication to the right atrium. We discuss the findings relative to concepts of development of the coronary arteries in normal hearts and in pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum.

Patients with a coronary aneurysm alone do not generally exhibit continuous murmurs; however, murmurs may be detected in the presence of a fistula. A 57-year-old woman with chest pain was referred to us with a suspected diagnosis of a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm owing to the presence of a continuous murmur that was detected on physical examination. However, CT revealed a giant right coronary artery aneurysm draining into the right atrium. Consequently, surgery was performed. This case highlights the importance of implementing multiple imaging modalities for adequate differential diagnoses of patients presenting with continuous murmurs.

AbstractEndocarditis of congenital coronary fistulas in the cardiac chambers is rare, especially in the paediatric age group. We describe the case of a 9-year-old boy with a fistula from the dilated right coronary artery to the junction of the superior caval vein to the right atrium, complicated by endocarditis. Treatment consisted of 6 weeks of antibiotics and interventional closure of the fistula 3 months later with an Amplatzer vascular plug.
