Abstract
Coronary arteriovenous fistula are uncommon if not rare, but represent the most prevalent hemodynamically significant congenital malformations of the coronary arterial circulation. The goal of this report is to evaluate the use of 3D volume rendering from transaxial breathhold coronary MR angiograms to visualize coronary arteriovenous fistulas. Coronary MR angiography offers a new non-invasive technique that accurately defines the anatomy of these malformations, setting the stage for surgical intervention.
