Coronary Artery Fistula Causing Acute Myocardial Infarction and Right Ventricle Thrombus

Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare congenital anomaly, which is most commonly asymptomatic. In symptomatic cases, aneurysms can occur with complications of thromboembolic events. This report describes a rare case of CAF presenting with complications of inferior acute myocardial infarction and t...
