Endovascular Treatment of Right Coronary-to-Bronchial Anastomosis with Bronchopulmonary Shunt Presenting as Coronary Steal Syndrome: A Case Report

The occurrence of an anastomosis between the coronary artery to the systemic artery is rare. However, the probability of hemodynamic changes sufficient to cause clinical symptoms is extremely low. Anastomosis of the coronary to bronchial artery can cause myocardial ischemia due to the decreased flow to the coronary arteries. The authors report a case of coronary to bronchial artery anastomosis presenting as coronary steal syndrome that was treated with transarterial microcoil embolization instead of surgical ligation
