Key Words Coronary artery fistula, Heart failure, Superior vena cava Introduction Coronary artery fistula is an abnormal connection between one of the coronary arteries and a heart chamber or another blood vessel. TTE revealed normal valves, normal left ventricular ejection fraction (>60%) with moderate to severe PAH with mild turbulent flow at RCA ostium, then TEE was done which showed RCA aneurysm with high velocity flow, bicaval view showed 39·34 mm aneurysmal dilatation of RCA at opening of SVC (Figure 1).
