Abstract. |
Coronary artery fistulas are described as abnormal terminations of coronary arteries. Often haemodinamically insignificant fistulas are asymptomatic and identified incidentally. We describe the CT findings of a right coronary artery fistula to bronchial artery in a 55 years old female, admitted in cardiologic clinic for chest pain. Conventional coronary angiography shows a fistula from right coronary artery draininginto the left lung. Coronary computed tomography angiography reveals fistula from sinoatrial branch of right coronary artery to a bronchial artery as well as concomitant bronchiectatic disease. Coronary CT angiography is able to identified well those coronary anomalies and explain patient’s complaints.
