Abstract
We report a patient with ischemic chest pain due to obstructive corona ry artery disease. The patient underwent a second cardiac catheterizat ion 2 years later that revealed progression of the coronary disease an d the appearance of a new arteriovenous malformation. Unless a prior a ngiogram was available, this malformation would have been classified a s congenital. This case report raises the question of whether all cong enital arteriovenous malformations are truly congenital. (C) 1996 Wile y-Liss, Inc.
