Published in: European heart journal. Case reports (2020)
There are few cases of giant coronary aneurysms associated with fistulas reported in the literature. Despite the endovascular percutaneous techniques available to treat these patients, we believe that surgical treatment was the best option for this particular case. We consider that surgical treatment is a very good option for giant CAAs associated with AV fistulas that are not susceptible for current endovascular available devices. The literature lacks evidence regarding the best approach for these cases, and we think that invasive treatment should be tailored according to the heart's anatomy and patient risk.
