Multiple coronary artery-left ventricular fistulas in a patient with left ventricular hypertrophy / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

Congenital coronary artery fistulas between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber occur in 0.2% of diagnostic cardiac catheterizations and usually arise when the right coronary artery drains into a right heart structure, such as the right atrium, right ventricle, or pulmonary artery. Fistulas draining into the left ventricle are uncommon. We report a case of multiple coronary artery-left ventricular microfistulas with eccentric septal hypertrophy presented as squeezing chest pain and discomfort at rest. This was diagnosed by coronary angiography and transthoracic echocardiography.
