Surgical management of symptomatic coronary artery fistulae in the adult.

We describe the surgical management of adult symptomatic coronary artery fistulae. The technique is a fundamental approach entailing cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest with the goal of fully identifying the epicardial course of the coronary fistulae as well as that of the intrapulmonary artery ostial shunt. The more accurate the localization of these primary components of the fistulous tract, the more precise and successful is the ligation of the aberrant coronary connections.

In surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), coronary arteries are routinely assessed by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to prevent undesirable complications. This study evaluated the capabilities and pitfalls of TEE assessment. Of 147 consecutive SAVR patients undergoing aortic stenosis, the TEE records for 130 patients, in which the procedures were conducted by a single examiner, were analyzed retrospectively regarding data acquisition and the accuracy of detecting an anomalous origin, high or low takeoff, ostial diameter, and short left main truncus (LMT).

During aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with severe aortic regurgitation (AR), repeated delivery of cardioplegia into the coronary ostia using a routine infusion cannula may induce coronary ostial injury. This study aims to introduce a new no-touch delivery method with reduced time and similar or better outcomes. Preliminary results have shown that no-touch cardioplegia delivery method was a simple, safe, and effective approach for cardioplegia infusion during AVR in patients with severe AR.

Objective: More than 30% of European pediatric cardiac surgery centers use single-dose cold histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate cardioplegia (Custodiol; Dr Franz Köhler Chemie GmbH, Bensheim, Germany). In neonates with transposition of the great arteries, arterial switch surgery (ASO) implies aortic division, and it is unknown whether repeated ostial cannulation causes intimal insult and affects long-term results, and therefore, single-dose Custodiol is appealing. The present study investigated the association among myocardial no-flow duration, postoperative troponins, and postoperative outcomes in neonates undergoing ASO with Custodiol cardioplegia.

Background: This study reviewed our experience with coronary artery (CA) malperfusion secondary to type A aortic dissection.
Methods: Between 2002 and 2017, 76 patients presented with CA malperfusion, with a dissection flap limited to the aorta in the region of the coronary ostium (type A lesion) in 26 (34%), with a dissection flap involving the CA itself (type B lesion) in 32 (42%), or with complete avulsion of the CA (type C lesion) in 18 (24%).
Results: Ostial repair was successfully performed in 23 type A patients (88%), in 20 type B patients (63%), and in no type C patient (0%).
