A Case of Coronary Arteriovenous Fistula from Diagonal Branch of Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery to Left Ventricle

ABSTRACT

Most coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF) drain into the pulmonary artery or the right heart chamber. CAVF between the left coronary artery and left ventricle is very uncommon. Moreover, a case of CAVF from a diagonal branch of the LAD to the LV has not been reported so far. We report a case of a 79-year-old man, complaining of intermittent chest pain and dyspnea on exertion for apprioximately 2 months. CAVF from the diagonal branch of the LAD to the LV was confirmed by selective coronary angiography.
