2022, Cardiovascular PathologySurgical treatment for a case of coronary steal from a traumatic coronary artery-cameral fistula after blunt cardiac injury
2018, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :This is particularly true for symptomatic patients and traumatic etiologies which are less likely to resolve [6]. Indications for surgery include angina, myocardial ischemia, coronary steal phenomenon, hemodynamically significant left-to-right shunt with pulmonary:systemic blood flow ratio of more than 2:1, enlarging coronary artery or evidence of cardiac failure [2,3,5–10]. Coronary steal is described in cases in which ischemia of the myocardium distal to the fistula can be demonstrated through evidence of ischemic changes or infarction on electrocardiography, echocardiography, angiography, or on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy [7].

2009, Legal MedicineCitation Excerpt :Blunt chest trauma resulting in cardiac injury is not very common. The resulting cardiac injury may be a contusion, rupture of heart chamber, inter-ventricular septum, tricuspid valve, coronary arteriovenous fistula, mitral valve apparatus or rarely aortic cusp [2,3]. Cardiac contusion is the commonest injury sustained while cardiac rupture is the most uncommon (0.3%), which, in turn, is associated with mortality as high as 80% [4].
