摘要
We report a case of coronary artery fistula arising from the left main coronary artery in a 62-year-old patient presenting with atrial fibrillation. He underwent a transthoracic echocardiogram which suggested a possible coronary artery fistula. Cardiac computed tomographic angiography and cardiac catheterization confirmed the diagnosis. Coronary artery fistula originated from the left main coronary artery, which is rare and terminated in the coronary sinus. Multi-modality imaging helps to delineate anatomy and decide treatment options. Small asymptomatic fistulas do not require treatment, and large or symptomatic fistulas need closure. Our patient was asymptomatic, and we opted for conservative management with close outpatient echocardiographic monitoring.
