A Rare Combination of the Left Circumflex Coronary Artery Fistula Connecting a Dilated Coronary Sinus with Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava and Multiple Arteriovenous Fistulae

چکیده
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an abnormal communication between an epicardial coronary artery and a cardiac chamber, major vessel or other vascular structures. This report presents a rare case of CAF in which a dilated left main trunk and proximal circumflex coronary artery are connected to a dilated coronary sinus. There were also two other fistulae and persistent left superior vena cava. The coronary fistula was managed conservatively.

Introduction The finding of a congenital right coronary–to–vena cava superior (RCVCS) fistula is extremely rare. The overall prevalence of coronary artery fistulae is 0.02%–0.9%, of which the coronary-to–pulmonary artery fistula is the most common type (78%) and the coronary-to–vena cava superior fistula the least common (1.8%). Symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, angina, reduced exercise...
