Myocardial infarction due to multiple coronary-ventricular fistulas.
Coronary-ventricular fistulas have been described in both right and left coronary arteries and have been implicated in causing cardiac symptoms and coronary ischemia. We present a case of three-vessel coronary-ventricular fistulas emptying into both ventricles, associated with a left-to-right shunt and a myocardial infarction.
