Echocardiographic detection of left circumflex coronary artery to left superior vena cava fistula by use of Doppler color flow mapping.
We report the two-dimensional and Doppler color flow mapping echocardiographic findings in a neonate with left circumflex coronary arteriovenous fistula to a left superior vena cava. Doppler color flow mapping, in concert with detailed imaging, was essential to identify this rare fistula and to prepare for therapeutic intervention at initial cardiac catheterization.
