“…Coronary artery fistulas are uncommon and, typically, congenital, although rare reports of acquired arterio- venous malformations have implicated tumor, thrombus, injury, or ischemia [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. While our patient had previously had a mediastinal tumor, no abnormal vascularity was noted at the time of resection, and the patient had survived 15 years without evidence of recurrent malignant disease, thus making tumor neovascularization unlikely.…”

“…More than 90% of these drain into the right side of the heart, with approximately 15% draining into the pulmonary circulation [1]. Acquired coronary artery malformations are uncommon, and have been reported in association with myocardial ischemia [2], mural thrombi [3][4], penetrating trauma [5][6], and intracardiac tumors [7][8]. In these cases, acquired fistulas have developed from coronary artery to coronary artery, or as arteriocameral fistulas.…”

“…Most of the fistulas are congenital, and their embryological origin appears to be due to the persistence of sinusoidal connections between the lumens of the primitive tubular heart. The acquired forms may be further divided into iatrogenic (during percutaneous coronary intervention, cardiac surgery, myocardial biopsy, and septal myectomy), traumatic, or related to a disease (such as myocardial infarction, Takayasu arteritis, and cardiomyopathies) [4, 5]. Several classifications have been proposed.…”

Coronary artery fistulas are rare abnormal connections between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or a major vessel. Often, they are asymptomatic and the diagnosis is accidental. The case we present is the incidental finding of a fistula displayed with echocardiography during acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A 73-year-old man presented in the emergency room for non-ST-elevation ACS. Echocardiogram showed in a parasternal short axis view an abnormal diastolic flow inside the ventricular inferior wall. Angiography and CT confirmed the diagnosis of coronary fistula from the right coronary into the left ventricular cavity. A literature analysis with discussion about coronary fistulas classification and management was also performed.

“…The acquired forms may be further divided into iatrogenic (during percutaneous coronary intervention, cardiac surgery, myocardial biopsy, septal myectomy), traumatic, or related to a disease (such as myocardial infarction, Takayasu arteritis, cardiomyopathies). 5,6 The study by Podolec et al, 7 published in this issue of Kardiologia Polska (Kardiol Pol, Polish Heart Journal), is a retrospective study that aims to determine the prevalence of coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) in Poland using coronary angiography. Data were obtained from the Polish National Registry of Procedures of Invasive Cardiology (Polish, Ogólnopolski Rejestr Procedur Kardiologii Inwazyjnej).…”
