Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an atypical vascular communication that drains into a cardiac chamber or vessel and is usually unrelated to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD).
CASE SUMMARY: An elderly patient with high-risk unstable angina underwent coronary angiography, which revealed 3-vessel CAD and multiple CAFs. Medical treatment was elected.
DISCUSSION: Multiple CAFs, especially a large right CAF draining into the left ventricle in the context of significant 3-vessel CAD in an elderly patient, represent a rare finding with an unusual presentation of unstable angina. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and management considerations in such complex scenarios, enriching the limited available literature.
TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: The co-occurrence of multiple CAFs with CAD creates a unique management challenge, requiring a tailored approach that extends beyond the current limited literature.
