A 55-year-old man, previously treated for primary hypothyroidism, was admitted for evaluation of atypical chest pain. On physical examination, the pulse rate was 60 and blood pressure was 132/84 mmHg. Heart sounds were normal and no murmur was heard. Abdominal palpation showed no abnormal finding, and bruit was not heard. The electrocardiogram was normal and stress-induced ischemia was not found. The chest X-ray showed no sign of pulmonary hyperaemia or mass lesion, and central shadow was normal (CTR = 44%). During right heart catheterization, the pressures were normal in the cardiac chambers, pulmonary artery, and wedge position. A significant increase in oxygen saturation was disclosed at pulmonary artery level (10%) and the upper site of the inferior vena cava (22%). Coronary arteriography found coronary artery fistulas from the left main trunk, the left anterior descending artery, the left circumflex, and the right coronary artery to the pulmonary trunk. The left and right ventriculograms were normal. The digital subtraction angiography of celiac artery showed hepatic arteriovenous fistula. Ultrasonography and computed tomography found no mass lesion of the liver. Since combination of the bilateral coronary artery with pulmonary artery fistula, and hepatic arteriovenous fistula is very rare, the present case is worth noting for the investigation of the pathogenesis of congenital arteriovenous fistulas.
