[Fistula of the right coronary artery near the right ventricle. An echocardiographic study].
A case of a 42-year-old woman with a right coronary artery fistula into the right ventricle is reported; she was asymptomatic and a continuous precordial murmur was found on physical examination. We discuss the usefulness and limitation of the Echo 2-D/Doppler findings, concerning this diagnosis, which was only definitively established by angiocardiography.
