Abstract:
Coronary arteriosystemic fistula which drains into the left ventricular cavity is a rare congenital anomaly. A case of double fistulae between the left anterior descending and left circumflex coronary arteries and left ventricular cavity is presented. The patient's chief complaint, chest pain, was attributable to the "steal phenomenon."

SEVERAL excellent reviews have been published recently describing the anatomic and clinical findings in patients with congenital coronary arteriovenous fistulas or with communications between the coronary arteries and the cardiac chambers.1-3 The recognition of this clinical entity presents real difficulty, since it may easily be confused with other lesions causing a continuous or to-and-fro mu...

During the 7 years that have ensued, her heart size, electrocardiogram, and general condition have remained normal. Review of the literature discloses 13 autopsy-proved coronary artery fistulas and 8 cases wherein the diagnosis was established by explor...

Coronary artery anomalies include anomalies of origin, termination, structure or course. Coronary artery fistulae (CAF) are classified as abnormalities of termination and are considered a major congenital anomaly.
