Abstract

A 27-year-old pregnant female presented to our clinic for a cardiac murmur that was detected during an antenatal check-up. She had no cyanosis, and she was asymptomatic for heart failure. The echocardiogram revealed an enlarged right coronary sinus with right coronary artery (RCA) dilatation. The electrocardiographic-gated coronary computed tomography angiogram showed aneurysmal RCA dilatation with fistula to the inferobasal region of the right ventricle. A few small thrombi were visualized in the right ventricle and within the fistula. She delivered a healthy baby via caesarean section at 31 weeks of gestation, and fistula correction was planned within one year.
