Her heart failure was due to the fistula as she had no coronary artery disease on coronary angiogram. She had no further complications and was discharged home in good condition.Discussion:SVA affects the right sinus (94%), with the non-coronary (5%) and left sinus (1%) being less commonly involved.

Coronary angiography revealed a tortuous and extremely aneurysmal RCA, as well as multivessel coronary artery disease (mvCAD) involving LAD, D1, LCx, OM1. Multislice CT angiography further characterized the RCA, which extends to the coronary sinus (CS) distally forming a coronary cameral fistula (CCF).
