Article information

Una fístula arteriovenosa coronaria se define como la comunicación entre una de las arterias coronarias y una vena o una cavidad cardiaca. La fístula se localiza en la arteria coronaria derecha (55%) o en la arteria coronaria izquierda (35% de los casos). Parece que las conexiones entre el sistema coronario y una cavidad cardiaca se deben a la persistencia de los sinusoides y espacios intertrabeculares embrionarios. La mayoría de estas fístulas drenan al ventrículo derecho, la aurícula derecha o el seno coronario. En la angiografía coronaria se detectan ocasionalmente fístulas entre arterias coronarias y pulmonares.

Palabras clave:
fístula
arteria coronaria derecha
arteria pulmonar
dolor torácico

An arteriovenous fistula is defined as the communication between one coronary artery with a vein or to a cardiac cavity. The fistula is localized in the right coronary artery (55% of cases) or in the left coronary artery (35% of cases). It seems that the connections between the coronary system and a cardiac cavity are due to the persistence of embryonic sinusoids and intratrabecular spaces. Most of these fistulae drain into the right ventricle, the right atrium or to the coronary sinus. Occasionally, fistulae between the coronary and pulmonary arteries are found during a coronary angiography.

Key words:
fistula
right coronary artery
pulmonary artery
chest pain
