Abstract

An 82-year-old hypertensive, diabetic woman was admitted to our department for pre-operative cardiac evaluation. A myocardial perfusion scan revealed apicoseptal and inferior segment hypoperfusion. Coronary angiography exhibited extensive multiple coronary cameral fistulae draining into the left ventricle in a homogeneous and circular way.
