Coronary artery fistula is an uncommon congenital disease that requires invasive treatment for symptomatic patients. Although percutaneous intervention has become the popular treatment option, surgical treatment is preferred for severely tortuous coronary artery fistulas. We report a case of an extremely tortuous coronary artery fistula successfully treated with the support of the GuideLiner catheter and the mother-grandchild technique.

Abstract Background Coronary artery fistula refers to an abnormal communication between a coronary artery and great vessel, a cardiac chamber or other structure. The left circumflex artery (LCX) pericardia fistula combined with huge pseudoaneurysm is extremely rare. Case presentation A 39-year-old young female was admitted into our hospital because of palpitation and shortness of breath. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) showed a huge pseudoaneurysm located in pericardium. Coronary angiography revealed the LCX pericardia fistula. Then surgical treatment was performed. She was in good condition without complications after surgery. Conclusions Coronary artery fistula combined with pseudoaneurysm can be caused by congenital factors. Early surgical treatment can relieve the patient's symptoms and prevent the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events.

In a patient with coronary artery fistula extending from anterior aortic sinus to postero-superior wall of right atrium, Magnetic Resonance Imaging was able to accurately demonstrate dilatation of the involved coronary artery, the tortuous nature of the dilated fistula, blood flow within the fistula and its communication with right atrium. Coronary artery fistulas are among the rare anomalies of coronary arteries. Role of angiography is well established in identification and characterization of these anomalies, however their accurate course and termination is often not defined. We demonstrate role of cardiovascular MRI in non- invasively diagnosing and characterizing the course of these anomalous coronary branches. Here we report a rare case of coronary artery fistula, symptomatic due to hemodynamically significant coronary steal phenomenon. Magnetic Resonance Imaging revealed abnormal dilated tortuous channel extending from anterior aortic sinus and postero-superior wall of right atrium suggestive of right coronary artery fistula. Large opening of the fistula was repaired with SFD patch and opening of the fistula in right atrium was closed directly with prolene.
