Clinical follow-up of a woman with diffuse coronary ectasia and coronaro-left ventricular fistulae.
The presence in the same clinical case of diffuse coronary artery ectasia and multiple congenital coronary artery fistulae draining into the left ventricle is a very rare condition. Herein we report the 20-year follow-up of an 85-year old woman, in order to show that the long-term prognosis in such a double disorder is good.
