摘要
多支动脉受累的大型冠状动脉瘤(CAA)非常罕见,冠状动脉瘘等并发症也极为罕见。处理此类病例是一项重大挑战。一名 75 岁的女性因左腹股沟肿块和心悸就诊。计算机断层扫描发现腹主动脉瘤和左髂总动脉瘤。冠状动脉造影发现了一个巨大的 CAA 和冠状动脉至肺动脉瘘。她接受了两阶段手术方法:首先是主动脉髂总动脉 Y 型移植,4 个月后进行开胸手术切除动脉瘤并结扎肺动脉瘘。她的术后恢复顺利,随访一年后仍无大碍。这个病例表明,优先选择破裂风险最高的动脉瘤,然后分阶段治疗 CAA,可以在没有重大并发症的情况下取得成功。
A rare case of successful staged surgery for giant coronary artery aneurysm, multiple artery aneurysms, and coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula.
Large coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) with multiple arterial involvements are rare, and complications like coronary artery fistulae are extremely uncommon. Managing such cases presents a significant challenge. A 75-year-old female presented with a left inguinal mass and palpitations. Computed tomography revealed an abdominal aortic aneurysm and a left common iliac artery aneurysm. Coronary angiography identified a giant CAA and a coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula. She underwent a two-stage surgical approach: first, an aortobiiliac Y-graft interposition, followed by open-heart surgery for aneurysmectomy and ligation of the pulmonary artery fistula 4 months later. Her postoperative course was uneventful, and she remained well at the 1-year follow-up. This case shows that prioritizing the aneurysm with the highest rupture risk, followed by staged treatment of CAAs, can lead to successful outcomes without major complications.
