Figures

None
Fig. 1 Coronary angiography shows an anomalous circumflex coronary artery (Anom Cx) that arises from the proximal segment of the right coronary artery (RCA) and gives rise to multiple coronary artery-to-bronchial artery fistulae (CAF). Real-time motion image is available at www.texasheart.org/journal.
None
Fig. 2 Sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (T1-prepared black blood) shows the anomalous circumflex coronary artery (Anom Cx) arising from the right coronary artery. Asc Ao = ascending aorta; IVC = inferior vena cava; LA = left atrium; RA = right atrium; RMB = right main bronchus
None
Fig. 3 Volume-rendered thoracic computed tomography from the right posterior aspect shows coronary artery fistulae. Ao A = aortic arch; CAF = coronary artery fistulae; LPA = anomalous left pulmonary artery; SVC = superior vena cava
None
Fig. 4 Axial computed tomography with contrast medium shows A) the anomalous left pulmonary artery (*) and B) the lung windows with bilateral basal medial bronchiectatic changes (arrows). Asc = ascending aorta; Dsc = descending aorta; SVC = superior vena cava
