Right coronary artery subselective angiography with a 5-French catheter mimicking a coronary arteriovenous fistula

Am J Card Imaging. 1995 Jan;9(1):53-5.

Abstract

We report the case of a 58-year-old woman who underwent outpatient coronary angiography with 5F catheters for atypical chest pain. Superselective angiography of a right superior septal artery mimicked a coronary arteriovenous fistula. Appropriate placement of the catheter in the ostium of the right coronary artery excluded the suspected anomaly.
