Multiple fistulas from the coronary arteries to the left ventricle in tricuspid atresia.
It is rare to find multiple fistulas arising from all three coronary arteries and draining into the left ventricle. Coronary angiography revealed this anomaly in a one-year-old girl with tricuspid atresia after conversion to the Fontan circulation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such multiple fistulas in the setting of tricuspid atresia, and also the first report in childhood.
