title: Multiple coronary fistulae to left ventricle, with acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: A rare case of myocardial infarction secondary to multiple coronary artery fistulae is described. Coronary angiography showed the fistulae originating from the distal septal branch of the left anterior descending artery and distal branches of the right coronary and circumflex arteries, and drained into the left ventricle. A myocardial perfusion scan showed a fixed perfusion defect.
