Cinecoronariography showed dilated coronary arteries without obstructions and multiples coronary fistulas draining into left ventricular cavity. Transesophagic echocardiogram with microbubbles injection into coronary arteries showed an important coronary steal phenomena. It is discussed the diagnosis and the treatment. This is one of the rare cases of coronary fistulas draining into the left ventricular cavity and the first one with alterations in the rest ECG.
