Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses a rare case of a 38-year-old female with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, experiencing severe angina due to multiple coronary microfistulae and a myocardial bridge.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through various tests, including an electrocardiogram and CT coronary angiography, which revealed specific abnormalities like left ventricular enlargement and a left anterior descending artery myocardial bridge.
  • The conclusion highlights that in cases of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, angina may result from unusual factors like coronary artery fistulae or myocardial bridges, and CT coronary angiography is recommended for effective screening and treatment planning.

Article Synopsis
  • Coronary cameral fistulas are unusual connections between coronary arteries and heart chambers that can lead to complications, despite often being asymptomatic.
  • These fistulas can create high-speed blood flow, increasing the risk of infections like endocarditis.
  • The paper details a rare case where a patient with a coronary cameral fistula developed infective endocarditis, indicated by a brain hemorrhage caused by a mycotic aneurysm, affecting the mitral papillary muscle region.

A coronary cameral fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between a coronary artery and any of the 4 cardiac chambers. Although congenital cases are more common, acquired CCFs, particularly after cardiac surgery, are rare. We present an unusual case of acquired CCF that occurred after bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement and septal myectomy and that mimics prosthetic regurgitation.

Introduction And Importance: Coronary-cameral fistulas (CCFs) are the anomalous connection between a coronary artery (CA) and a great vessel or cardiac chamber. About 90 % of CA fistulas are congenital and are related to persistent sinusoids during the embryonic period. Most fistulas originate from the right and left anterior descending CAs.
