Abstract

Bilateral coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF), arising from both the right and left coronary arteries, are rare. We experienced a 44 years old male patient with bilateral CAVF, and coronary atherosclerosis, whose diagnosis was confirmed by coronary angiography. The hemodynamic result revealed minimal left-to-right shunt. Therefore, only percutaneous coronary artery intervention of the coronary artery stenosis was performed. Here, this rare case is reported, with a review of the literature.
