Abstract
|
|
|
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare type of anomaly in which a fistulous connection between a coronary artery and another vascular structure is present. Even among CAFs, a connection between a coronary artery and a bronchial artery is not common, and although coronary-bronchial fistula from the sinoatrial node (SAN) artery has been occasionally mentioned in the literature, to our knowledge, a communication between the S-shaped variant of SAN artery and the bronchial artery has not been reported before. We recently experienced a unique case of coronary-to-bronchial artery fistula originating from the S-shaped SAN artery in an 85-year-old male with nocturnal chest pain and would like to discuss its CT and coronary angiography findings.
