Ultrasound manifestation of right coronary artery-superior vena cava fistula complicated with giant superior vena cava aneurysm: a case report[J]. Journal of Clinical Ultrasound in Medicine, 2023,25(2).DOI:
The patient was diagnosed by echocardiography in a foreign hospital due to "chest pain": "right coronary artery-left atrial fistula"
and a series of imaging examinations in our hospital confirmed the diagnosis: right coronary artery-superior vena cava fistula
with tumor-like expansion of the superior vena cava . Percutaneous coronary angiography confirmed the fistula closure
and postoperative transthoracic echocardiography showed no residual shunt. The out-of-hospital examiners mistakenly regarded the superior vena cava aneurysm as the left atrium
and did not scan the superior vena cava aneurysmal dilatation. For coronary fistula
it is necessary to patiently track the abnormal blood flow path
carefully identify the typical anatomical structure
and perform multi-section scanning to reduce missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.
