Özet
Coronary arteriovenous fistula is an incidental finding in 0.1% to 0.2% of coronary angiograms. A 15-year-old famale patient presented with a three years history of chest pain on exertion. Echocardiography was performed previously and a small muscular ventricular septal defect was detected. The electrocardiogram was normal sinus rhythm together with normal axis. On echocardiography, left ventricular function was normal and there was continuous flow into the right ventricle. Therefore, coronary angiography was performed for considering the coronary artery fistula. Coronary artery fistula was observed between the first septal perforating branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery with right ventricle. The patient’s clinical follow-up was decided since a significant shunt could not be identified.
