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.
