title: Noninvasive diagnosis of coronary artery fistula by two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography.
abstract: In a 48-year-old woman, the diagnosis of a right coronary arteriovenous fistula communicating with the coronary sinus was made noninvasively using two-dimensional, pulsed and color Doppler echocardiography. These noninvasive techniques were superior to angiography in delineating the cardiac chamber into which the fistula emptied.
