Congenital coronary arteriovenous fistulas.
The authors examined and operated on five patients with congenital coronary arteriovenous fistulas. Patients suffering from this disease do not exhibit complaints typical of cardiopathy and the results of electrocardiographic and roentgenographic examination lack specific features. The presence of low systolic-diastolic murmur suggests a common arteriovenous coronary orifice and by means of coronarography it is possible to make a topical diagnosis.
