Abstract

A 54-year-old woman presents with a long history exertional chest pain and was found to have left ventricular systolic dysfunction on trans-thoracic echocardiogram. Coronary angiography revealed no evidence of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease and showed multiple micro-fistulae draining from all three major coronary arteries to the left ventricle. This rare abnormality is the result of failure of obliteration of intra-trabecular embryonic sinusoids and may cause myocardial ischemia through the coronary steal mechanism.
