Anomalous Left Coronary

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) was described by Abbott in 1908. In most cases, it is an isolated lesion, being the most common cause of myocardial ischemia in children. The associated mortality rate without intervention reaches 90% during childhood. We report the case of a 67-year-old woman, who underwent coronary angiography for investigation of atypical chest pain and was found to have ALCAPA. The patient refused surgery and has remained asymptomatic on a medical regimen.

Abstract Background Management of coronary artery fistula (CAF) is based on obliterating the fistula communication between the cardiac arteries and other thoracic vessels. Case presentation We describe the presentation of an 85-year-old female with progressive exertional dyspnea on a background of a long standing left anterior descending diagonal to pulmonary artery fistula. We utilized neuro-interventional techniques to perform coil embolization via use of a Scepter XC dual lumen micro catheter. Conclusions Dual lumen balloon catheters allow for super-selective artery interrogation, stability of balloon positioning, with less trauma to vessel architecture and accurate embolization. There were no complications and the patient reported improvement of symptoms on review.
