Abstract

A double coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF) was observed in a ten-year-old girl. A large, tortuous, and elongated right coronary artery, communicating with the right ventricle, was detected by two-dimensional echocardiography and confirmed at angiography. To our knowledge, no echocardiographic recognition of the origin and termination of a CAVF has been reported previously. Moreover, another fistula, connecting the left anterior descending coronary artery with the main pulmonary artery was also detected by selective left coronary arteriography. The anatomy of double CAVF was confirmed on surgery. A right CAVF draining into the right ventricle and a left CAVF draining into the main pulmonary artery seemed to be a very unusual combination.
