Abstract

Circumflex coronary arteriovenous fistula associated with aneurysmal dilatation and draining into coronary sinus (CS) is rare. A 57-year-old female presented with progressive dyspnea and was found to have a tortuous multiloculated aneurysm of the circumflex coronary artery terminating into the CS associated with a persistent left superior vena cava. The operative repair and management of coronary arteriovenous fistula are the subject of this case report and review.
