Abstract
Among the congenital coronary artery fistulas, diffuse fistulation int o the left ventricular chamber, usually expressed in terms of a corona ry artery-left ventricular shunt, is not as rare today as was previous ly thought. However, the origin of such a shunt from all three major c oronary arteries is rare. This paper reports three cases of such an oc currence and presents the clinical features and management of this rar e anomaly by analyzing 31 cases, including 28 from the literature.
