Coronary cameral fistulas are rare congenital anomalies with an abnormal direct connection between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or another segment of the cardiovascular system. These fistulas can vary in size and location, often remaining asymptomatic if small. Larger fistulas may lead to myocardial ischemia due to a coronary steal phenomenon, resulting in angina or heart failure. Diagnosis typically involves imaging modalities such as coronary angiography, echocardiography, or computed tomography. Treatment options include transcatheter embolization or surgical closure, depending on the size and complexity of the fistula, aiming to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes.Clinicians participating in this course on coronary cameral fistulas gain comprehensive knowledge and skills essential for diagnosing and managing this rare condition. The course covers an in-depth understanding of diagnostic techniques such as coronary angiography and echocardiography, facilitating accurate identification and assessment of coronary cameral fistulas. Treatment strategies, including transcatheter embolization and surgical closure, are explored, emphasizing patient selection criteria and procedural considerations. In addition, participants learn about potential complications, follow-up care protocols, and interdisciplinary collaboration required for optimal patient outcomes.
