title: Bilateral coronary artery fistulas with multiple sites of drainage.
abstract: A 49-year-old woman presented with bilateral coronary fistulas with multiple sites of drainage. She had been referred to hospital for evaluation of a cardiac murmur, and a coronary arteriogram revealed multiple coronary fistulas. One fistula originated from the proximal part of the left anterior descending coronary artery and connected to the main pulmonary artery. Three coronary artery fistulas arised from a conal branch of the right coronary artery and drained into the main pulmonary artery, the right atrium and the great cardiac vein. This is the first reported case of bilateral coronary fistulas with multiple sites of drainage.
