BACKGROUND: @entity453 is a rare @entity600 . Complications such as intracardiac shunts, @entity884 , @entity583 , @entity439 and @entity944 can be observed. The purpose of this article is to present our experience with concomitant cardiac pathologies and discuss various therapeutic approaches including surgical and percutaneous intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS: During 18,272 diagnostic cardiac catheterizations, coronary artery fistulas were identified incidentally in 10 @entity1 (0.05%). There were 3 female and 7 male @entity1 . The @entity1 ' ages ranged from 42 to 76 years. All @entity1 with @entity453 were preoperatively in New York Heart Association functional class and Canadian Cardiovascular Society class II or III. RESULTS: In addition to @entity453 , @entity453 was detected in 4 @entity1 (40%), a @entity1757 and an @entity439 of the sinuses of Valsalvae with @entity337 in one @entity1 (10%) and an anomalous origin of the LAD from the pulmonary trunk in one @entity1 (10%) during cardiac catheterization. Four (40%) of the total of 10 @entity1 had only @entity453 . Surgical closure of the @entity453 was performed in 7 @entity1 (70%). An interventional fistula closure with a coil device was confirmed by cardiac catheterization in another 3 @entity1 (30%). One @entity1 of the latter group showed a small residual shunt from the LAD to the pulmonary trunk. No @entity204 or long-term morbidities could be observed. CONCLUSIONS: Coronary artery fistulas are incidentally diagnosed during coronary artery angiographies in adults and should be closed to prevent complications.
