ABSTRACT
Coronary artery fistula is a rare condition in which a communication exists between
a coronary artery an a cardiac chamber or systemic vein. It causes an obligatory
shunt from the high-pressure coronary artery to a lower-pressure cardiac chamber.
We report a case of right coronary artery fistula draining into the right ventricle,
echocardiographic features and interventional catheterization.
