title: An incidentally detected huge coronary arteriovenous fistula: comprehensive evaluation using noninvasive imaging modalities.
abstract: A 58-year-old woman presenting with atypical chest pain showed a turbulent color Doppler signal at the interatrial septum on a transthoracic echocardiography and was found to have a huge coronary arteriovenous fistula originating from the middle right coronary artery and draining into right atrium with a very tortuous course using cardiac multidetector CT. A trivial echocardiographic finding should not be overlooked and could be evaluated thoroughly and noninvasively by multidetector CT.
