Key result
Surgical repair of coronary artery fistula in adults resulted in 0% mortality and no CAF-related events over a mean follow-up of 66.6 months.
Why the study?
Coronary artery fistula is a relatively rare cardiac anomaly, and long-term outcomes following surgical repair in adults required investigation.
What are the long-term outcomes following surgical repair of coronary artery fistula in adults?
Cohort (n=13)
No
What are the long-term outcomes following surgical repair of coronary artery fistula in adults?
Surgical repair of coronary artery fistulas in adults is safe and associated with excellent long-term outcomes, with no mortality or fistula-related events over a mean follow-up of 66.6 months.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support concurrent CAF repair during other cardiac surgery in adults; leaves open need for larger studies to guide practice.
Wada et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery fistula (n=13). Surgical repair of coronary artery fistula was evaluated on Perioperative or follow-up deaths and CAF-related events. Surgical repair of coronary artery fistula in adults resulted in 0% mortality and no CAF-related events over a mean follow-up of 66.6 months.
