ABSTRACT

Objective: Comparison of the similarities between echocardiography and coronary artery catheterization in subjects with congenital coronary artery fistular. Methods: The study of describing a series of 20 cases of coronary artery fistular diagnosed by echocardiography, coronary catheterization, and intervention of coronary artery fistular blockage by cutaneous at Children’s Hospital 2, Ho Chi Minh City from 4/2010 – 9/2019. Results: There was no similarity in the diagnosis of the number of holes in coronary artery fistular for both echocardiography and cardiac catheterization (p<0.05). Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization have similar findings on parameters of coronary artery fistular, fistulous location, coronary artery size, aneurysm size, and PAPs in patients with congenital coronary artery fistular. Conclusion: Echocardiography and coronary angiography have similar findings on coronary arterial parameters; fistular track location, coronary artery size, aneurysm size, and PAPs in patients with congenital coronary artery fistular.

Keywords: echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, congenital coronary artery fistular
