Abstract
Coronary artery fistula is a rare organic heart disease. Its
incidence rate is approximately 0.002%. Right coronary artery
(RCA)–coronary sinus fistula is rare and most likely accounts for 7% of all coronary artery fistulas (1, 2). Most patients may present with chest pain, palpitations, syncope, and a continuous murmur at the precordium, accompanied by local thrill or a systolic
and diastolic dual-phase murmur (3, 4). We report a recent, rare
case involving a fistula between RCA and coronary sinus.
