Abstract

Coronary artery fistula is a rare abnormality of coronary circulation. It is mostly congenital but acquired forms can also occur. Fistulae are usually asymptomatic and can sometimes be visualized during cardiac imaging such as transthoracic echocardiogram, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, coronary computed tomography angiography and coronary angiography.
