    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Disease
    • Pediatric Cardiology

    Background:

    • Coronary fistulae are uncommon, representing 8-11% of all coronary anomalies.
    • Three main types exist: right coronaro-ventricular, left coronaro-ventricular, and coronaro-pulmonary.

    Observation:

    • Right and left coronaro-ventricular fistulae often occur with sigmoid atresia and ventricular hypoplasia, serving as an ejection pathway.
    • Right coronaro-ventricular fistulae are the most frequent secondary type (73%).
    • Coronaro-pulmonary fistulae (18%) are associated with severe Fallot's tetralogy.

    Findings:

    • The study reviewed 30 literature cases and added 2 new ones, analyzing clinical, arteriographic, and post-mortem data.
    • Left coronaro-ventricular fistulae (9%) are linked to fatal left heart hypoplasia, requiring specific surgical considerations.
    • Surgical correction is typically a one-stage procedure, with specific approaches for different fistula types and associated anomalies.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the etiology, pathogenesis, and physiopathology of coronary fistulae is crucial for diagnosis and management.
    • Tailored surgical strategies are essential for successful correction, especially in complex cases involving other congenital heart defects.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention can improve outcomes for patients with these rare cardiac malformations.
