They involve abnormal termination of a coronary artery, usually the right coronary, into a cardiac chamber, usually the right ventricle.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We describe a case of female patient with severe aortic stenosis and interventricular septal hypertrophy that underwent bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement with concomitant septal myectomy. On subsequent follow-up an abnormal flow traversing the septum into the left ventricle was identified and Doppler interrogation demonstrated a continuous flow, with a predominantly diastolic component, consistent with coronary arterial flow.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The literature on coronary cameral fistulas is reviewed and the etiology of the diagnostic findings discussed. In our patient, a coronary artery to left ventricle fistula was the most likely explanation secondary to trauma to the septal perforator artery during myectomy. Since the patient was asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis no intervention was recommended and has done well on follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1476-7120-3-35","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,10]],"date-time":"2005-11-10T20:35:01Z","timestamp":1131654901000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Coronary artery to left ventricle fistula"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Angel","family":"L\u00f3pez-Candales","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vivek","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"82_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"297","DOI":"10.1002\/clc.4960220409","volume":"22","author":"SA Said","year":"1999","unstructured":"Said SA, van der Werf T: Acquired coronary cameral fistulas: are these collaterals losing their destination?.
