Multiple fistulas between the coronary arteries and the left ventricle.
The authors report a case of fistulas connecting the anterior descending, circumflex, and dominant right coronary arteries with the left ventricle. Although fistulous connections between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber have been described before, this is only the third known case in which all of the coronary arteries communicated with the left ventricle.
