A 51-year-old man developed severe mitral regurgitation 10 years after previous mitral valve repair; the echocardiographic images showed a remarkable eccentric jet toward posterior wall of left atrium associated with a high degree of pulmonary vein retrograde flow. The coronary arteriography pointed out no pathologic lesions but a coronary fistula from the proximal right coronary to the right atrium. The standard approach was avoided, and a right anterolateral minithoracotomy was chosen, providing an excellent view. Under cardiopulmonary bypass and mild hypothermia, the mitral valve was re-repaired, and a new ring was implanted. After aortic cross-clamp release, the right coronary fistula was closed through the right atrium. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the fourth postoperative day. In such a high-risk reintervention and concomitant procedure, we think that this different approach may represent a feasible and reliable alternative.

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.

AbstractCoronary fistula is defined as an anomalous connection between a coronary artery and any of the four chambers of the heart or any of its great vessels. A coronary fistula connecting the left main coronary artery to the right atrium is the most uncommon. In the present study, we report the surgical management of a very uncommon case of an aneurysm-like fistula connecting the left main coronary artery to the right atrium in a 2-year-old boy.
