Congenital coronary artery fistulae arising from bilateral coronary arteries and emptying into both pulmonary artery and left ventricle: a rare presentation.
Congenital coronary artery fistulae rarely empty into both the pulmonary artery and the left ventricle. To our knowledge, there have been only two such cases reported in the literature. This paper presents a third case. The pattern of drainage into the left ventricle in the present case was, however, quite different from that observed in the previous reports.
