Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Understanding of coronary sinus (CS) anatomy and abnormalities is of critical importance due to their use in interventional procedures. Herein, the authors report a rare case of an asymptomatic 72-year-old man with a left circumflex coronary artery–to-CS fistula, together with CS ostial atresia and persistent left superior vena cava. These findings are described using both cardiac CT angiography and MRI with four-dimensional flow for anatomic and functional assessment.
