Coronary artery fistulae (CAF) are rare anomalies. They are vascular communications between the coronary arteries and other cardiac structures, either cardiac chambers or great vessels. There can be considerable variation in the course of a coronary artery fistula. We report a case of a coronary artery fistula between the left circumflex coronary artery and the right and left atria. CAF are often diagnosed by coronary angiogram, however with the advent of new technologies such as Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (Coronary CTA) the course and communications of these fistulae can be delineated non-invasively and with greater accuracy.
冠状动脉瘘（CAF）是一种罕见的异常情况。它们是冠状动脉与其他心脏结构（即心腔或大血管）之间的血管交通。冠状动脉瘘的走行可能有很大差异。我们报告一例左旋支冠状动脉与左右心房之间的冠状动脉瘘病例。冠状动脉瘘通常通过冠状动脉造影诊断，然而随着冠状动脉计算机断层扫描血管造影（冠状动脉CTA）等新技术的出现，这些瘘的走行和交通情况可以通过非侵入性方法更准确地描绘出来。
