Abstract

Majority of coronary artery fistulas are of the congenital origin, and they have been rarely reported after congenital heart surgery. Here, we present echocardiographic images and prognosis of multiple acquired coronary artery fistulas occurring after surgical myectomy in a child diagnosed with double-chamber right ventricle complicated with infective endocarditis involving the right heart valves.
