[Right coronary artery fistula opening into right ventricle. Echocardiographic findings and interventional management. Report of a case].
Coronary artery fistula is a rare condition in which a communication exists between a coronary artery an a cardiac chamber or systemic vein. It causes an obligatory shunt from the high-pressure coronary artery to a lower-pressure cardiac chamber. We report a case of right coronary artery fistula draining into the right ventricle, echocardiographic features and interventional catheterization.
