| pubmed-article:1571173 | pubmed:abstractText | Coronary artery fistulas are relatively uncommon and are usually initially suspected on auscultation of a continuous murmur. Long-term complications include congestive heart failure, endocarditis, ischemia, and atrial arrhythmias. The role of echocardiography in visualization and diagnosis of these fistulas is expanding. We report two cases in which transesophageal echocardiography was used to visualize and better define proximal coronary arteries and coronary artery fistulas. | lld:pubmed |
