AB Coronary  artery  fistula  is  defined  as  any  abnormal  luminal  connection  between  1  or  both  coronary  arteries  and  the  cardiac  chambers  or  great  vessels.1  Coronary  artery  fistulae  (CAFs)  are  a  rare  entity,  found  in  1  out  of  50,000  live  births  and  in  1  of  500  patients  undergoing  coronary  angiography.2  They  may  be  congenital  or  acquired  and,  clinically,  can  range  from  completely  asymptomatic  to  florid  congestive  heart  failure  and  ischemia  with  electrocardiogram  (ECG)  changes  and  other  typical  presenting  complaints.
