Coronary-cameral fistula in association with Klinefelter syndrome: exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia late after surgical ligation.

Abstract

Twenty two years after surgical ligation of a large coronary-cameral fistula originating from the circumflex artery and terminating to the right atrium, non-sustained exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia occurred in a 26-year-old male with known Klinefelter (XXY) syndrome. Cardiac catheterization showed satisfactory closure of the defect, but also revealed occlusion of the circumflex coronary artery, associated with inferolateral infarction.
