Fistula from right and left coronary arteries to pulmonary artery: Coronary CT angiography and coronary angiography findings
Coronary artery fistula is an abnormal communication between the coronary artery and either the cardiac chamber or the great vessel. In particular, the coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula can be supplied by either one or both coronary arteries and drains to the pulmonary trunk. We report a unique c...
