Coronary–Cavitary Fistula of the Circumflex Coronary Artery to the Left Atrium as a Probable Etiology of Heart Failure: A Case Report
DOI: 10.47593/2675-312X/20213404eabc220
Abstract
Coronary artery fistulas have a low incidence and are often diagnosed by echocardiography or coronary computed tomography angiography, although coronary angiography is the gold standard. They commonly originate in the right coronary artery, with drainage to low-pressure chambers being the most frequent finding. Treatment can be expectant, surgical, or percutaneous. This report describes a case of a rare presentation of heart failure due to a fistula of the circumflex coronary artery with drainage into the left atrium.
