title: Coronary-pulmonary artery fistula with anomalous vessels arising from the right coronary sinus detected by 64-MDCT.
abstract: We describe a case of aneurysmal coronary-pulmonary artery fistula and a communicating anomalous vessel arising from the right coronary sinus that was clearly demonstrated by 64-multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT). MDCT angiography was more useful than cardiac catheterization for planning the surgical strategy.
