Backgrounds: Coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF) is a rare congenital or acquired coronary artery anomaly in adult and pediatric populations and the long-term outcome is not fully known. We sought to evaluate the clinical and angiographic characteristics in patients with CAVF as well as clinical outcomes. Methods: We reviewed all patients (n=6820) presenting with CAVF between January 2000 and September 2007. Forty four Patients (0.65%, mean62.9±12.8 years old, 19 males) had 60 CAVF by coronary angiography (CAG). We reviewed the clinical characteristics, clinical outcome and angiographic patterns of CAVF. Results: ST-T segment changes on ECG were seen in 16 patients (36.4%). There were 14 hypertensive (23.3%), 9 diabetics (20.5%), 9 smokers (20.5%), and 27 hyperlipidemics (62.8%). Significant coronary artery narrowing (stenosed more than 50%) was found in 12 patients (27.3%). Clinical symptoms of CVAF patient were chest pain (n=21), dyspnea (n=12), syncope (n=2), fatigue (n=1), palpitation (n=1), dizziness (n=2) and asymptomatic (n=5). The origin of the CAVF were left coronary artery (n=19), right coronary artery (n=9) and both coronaries artery (n=16). The most common drainage site of the CVAF was pulmonary artery (n=36, 60%), followed by left ventricle (n=12, 20%), right ventricle (n=3, 5%), left atrium (n=3, 5%), and right atrium, aorta, lung (n=2, 3.3%, respectively). Four patients underwent coil embolization and one patient underwent surgical ligation, whereas the remaining patients were medically treated. The majority of the study subjects were asymptomatic during mean 22.9±19.1 months follow up period. There was no cardiac death or stroke. Conclusions: The prevalence of CVAF was 0.65%. The prognosis in patients with CVAF was excellent, although some patients needed invasive treatment.
