Axial and basal short axis CT images representing the coronary arterio-venous fistula (white arrow). The vessel carries out tortuous kinkings before reaching the crux cordis (A,B); (C,D) perfusion maps: long axis and short axis views representing the inferior defects near fistula and the anterior defects in myocardium supplemented by LAD. LAD, left anterior descending artery.
