PDFAbstract
Objective To investigate coronary artery fistulas by dual-source CT angiography (DSCTA). Methods A total of 15 cases of coronary artery fistulas patients underwent DSCTA, and MIP, MPR, CPR, and VR were performed and showed the configuration of anomaly coronary artery. Results A total of 15 cases of coronary artery fistula included right coronary artery- right ventricle fistula(n=4), right coronary arterypulmonary artery fistula(n=3), left coronary artery- right ventricle fistula(n=3), left coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula(n=5), 2 cases with atrial septal defect, 1 cases with ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus, 1 cases with tetralogy of Fallot syndrome, 1 case with pulmonary valve stenosis. Conclusion DSCT coronary angiography can show the location and size of the coronary artery fistula and observe the cardiac inner structure and deformity which is very important for operation therapy, DSCT can be the a safe and noninvasive imaging examination method of coronary artery fistula.
