Coronary-cameral fistula is a scarce clinical entity, which is defined as an anomalous communication between any epicardial coronary artery and cardiac chambers or large vessels. We aimed to present a case of multiple coronary-cameral fistulas causing myocardial ischemia.

Vieussens’ arterial ring (VAR) is a collateral circulation between the conus branches of the right coronary artery (RCA) and the left anterior descending artery (LAD), and is thought to be an embryologic remnant. It was first described by Raymond de Vieussens in 1706. VAR is found in 48% of the population, but pathological conditions related to VAR (aneurysm, rupture, fistula) are very rare. A ...

Surgical treatment was revascularization of the diagonal branch (no reperfusion of the LAD) and ligation of the fistula. We report a case of a 63-year-old woman who was admitted at our institution for unstable angina with a severe coronary disease and...

A 27-year-old man with bacterial endocarditis of the mitral valve and embolic episodes was bound to have a large right coronary artery fistula communicating with the left ventricle, immediately inferior to the posterior mitral annulus. The perforation of the posterior leaflet and coronary arteriovenous fistula was identified using two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography. The diagnosis was conf...
