Abstract
We report a case of an angiographically documented fistula between the circumflex coronary artery and a left atrial appendage thrombus in a patient with mitral stenosis, Row from which can be demonstrated solel y by a color doppler transesophageal echocardiogram, Evaluation of cat heter derived hemodynamics and angiographic flow patterns reveals a he retofore undescribed physiologic property of coronary to atrial shunts inpatients with mitral stenosis.
