A fistula connecting the right coronary artery to the right atrium: a hitherto undescribed association.
A case of double right coronary artery accompanying a fistulous connection is presented. An additional right coronary artery is an extremely rare congenital abnormality. In this case, the second right coronary artery was draining into a cardiac chamber via a fistulous connection. This is the first case in the literature to present these abnormalities coexisting in the same patient.
