  • Title: Echocardiographic evaluation of coronary artery fistula connecting the right coronary artery to the coronary sinus: a case report.
    Author: Tirabassi G, Muià N, Gaddi O.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown); 2006 Jul; 7(7):560-2. PubMed ID: 16801818.
    Abstract:
    Coronary artery fistula is a rare incidental finding during routine cardiac catheterization. It is usually congenital but it may also be a consequence of chest trauma or iatrogenic procedures. Patients may be asymptomatic or experience signs and symptoms of myocardial ischemia. In this article we report a casual echocardiographic finding of a coronary artery anomaly in an asymptomatic patient who underwent successful surgical closure and remained well several years after the procedure.
