Abstrakt: Background. Coronary artery fistulas are uncommon anomalies. They occur in 0.1–0.2% of patients undergoing coronary arteriography. The origin of the fistulas is the right coronary artery followed by the left anterior descending and lastly by the circumflex artery (17%). Termination into the right heart side occurs in 90% of cases. Termination into the coronary sinus is rare in 3% of cases. Circumflex artery–coronary sinus fistulas are even rarer.
