Abstract

Here, we report a case of multiple coronary artery fistulae with biventricular hypertrophy. The initial diagnosis of multiple coronary artery fistulae, draining into the left as well as the right ventricle, was made by standard transthoracic 2-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography. Later, multiple coronary fistulae communicating with the left ventricle through persistent sinusoids were diagnosed by coronary angiography.
