A rare case of coronary artery fistula presented with acute myocardial infarction

open access: yesAvicenna Journal of Medicine, 2015
Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs): Are anomalous connections of the coronary arteries (CA) with major vascular structures or heart chambers. Most of CAFs are incidental findings during invasive coronary angiography (ICA) or computed tomography angiography (
