Noninvasive evaluation of a fistula between a giant coronary aneurysm and coronary sinus performed via multidetector row computed tomography.
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an uncommon anomaly of congenital and rarely iatrogenic etiology. Most of the patients are asymptomatic, and the anomaly is incidentally recognized during a coronary angiography performed for other reasons. Also, coronary artery aneurysms are rare. We report a case of CAF associated with a giant aneurysm evaluated using multidetector row computed tomography.
