ABSTRACT

Right coronary artery (RCA) communicating to coronary sinus (CS) resulting in aneurysmal dilatation of RCA is a rare congenital anomaly, usually presenting late with complication of left to right shunt and volume overload. We report a case of a 53 years old female presenting with dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea and angina. Echocardiography and computed tomography are suggestive of a fistulous communication of RCA to CS with aneurysm of RCA. Patient was treated surgically and is asymptomatic after three years of follow up.
