An aneurysmal left circumflex artery-to-right atrium fistula in a patient with ischemic symptoms: accurate diagnosis with dual-source CT angiography.

Dilek Oncel1, Guray Oncel.   

Abstract

In this report, we present a 55-year-old female patient with a left circumflex artery-to-right atrial fistula associated with a huge saccular aneurysm. She had undergone conventional angiography due to ischemic symptoms. In conventional angiography, a very dilated and tortuous vessel originating from the circumflex artery and continuous with a huge saccular aneurysm was visualized but the drainage site could not be demonstrated. With dual-source CT coronary angiography, the exact anatomy of this fistula was demonstrated and surgery was planned.
