Asymptomatic left and right coronary artery-left ventricular fistula in an elderly patient with a diastolic murmur only.
A 62-year-old woman who had a diastolic murmur was found to have an unusual type of coronary arterial fistula between bilateral coronary arteries and the left ventricle by selective coronary angiography. This anomaly appeared to be of no functional significance. The diastolic murmur was the only audible sign of the fistulous communications in this case.
