Figures

None
Fig. 1 Three-dimensional, volume-rendered multidetector-row computed tomographic images show bilateral coronary artery fistulae with multiple aneurysmal dilations. The fistulae arise from A) the conal branch of the proximal right coronary artery (arrows) and B) the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (arrows).
None
Fig. 2 Coronary angiography confirms that bilateral coronary artery fistulae arise from A) the conal branch of the proximal right coronary artery (arrows) and B) the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (arrows), with drainage into the main pulmonary artery. Real-time motion images are available at www.texasheart.org/journal.
