  • Title: Echocardiographic detection of coronary artery fistula into the pulmonary artery.
    Author: Yang Y, Bartel T, Caspari G, Eggebrecht H, Baumgart D, Erbel R.
    Journal: Eur J Echocardiogr; 2001 Dec; 2(4):292-4. PubMed ID: 11888824.
    Abstract:
    A rare case of left coronary artery--pulmonary artery fistula is reported. Transoesophageal echocardiography was capable of precisely demonstrating the origin, the course and the drainage site of the fistula. In contrast, transthoracic echocardiography could visualise a drainage flow in the pulmonary artery only. In conclusion, transoesophageal echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis or exclusion of the form of coronary artery fistula.
