Case report and review of literature: coronary artery fistulae

Abstract

Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare disease. In more than 90 percent of cases, a single fistula drains into the right heart chambers or into the pulmonary artery. Fistulae draining into the left ventricle are uncommon; further, multiple CAF involving the three major coronary artery vessels are very rare. This report will describe two rare cases of CAF, one of multiple CAF, and the other of single CAF, all of which drained into the left ventricular chamber.
