title: Imaging of multiple coronary artery fistulas to right ventricle by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.
abstract: A 20-year-old woman presented with extremely rare multiple coronary artery fistulas with left circumflex and right coronary arteries as the feeding vessels and two distinct sites of drainage into the posterior wall of the right ventricle near the apex in close proximity. The large left fistula was well depicted by transthoracic echocardiography, whereas the transesophageal approach better delineated part of the smaller right fistula.
