Abstract
Bilateral coronary artery fistula constitutes an uncommon subgroup of coronary artery fistulas that may have a distinct embryologic origin. Coronary artery fistulas usually show a tortuous arrangement upon coro nary angiography, but aneurysmal dilatation is rare. We report here an extremely rare case of coronary artery fistula originating from both coronary arteries, which showed multicystic aneurysmal dilatation. (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
