| Core Tip |
Congenital coronary artery fistulas are usually detected as a coincidental finding during non-invasive and invasive diagnostic modalities for the assessment of coronary artery disease. Positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) is not frequently applied for functional assessment. In the current study, five patients underwent adenosine 13N-ammonia PET-CT to assess myocardial perfusion and the functional behavior of the fistula. PET-CT revealed normal myocardial per¬fusion and ejection fraction in all but one patient, who showed a reduced ejection fraction. Combined with semi-quantitative results, patients with normal flow, revealed by PET-CT, could be treated medically, thereby avoiding the need for transcutaneous or surgical occlusion of the fistulas. |
