Zusammenfassung:This case report describes the occurrence of multiple coronary artery fistulae emptying into the left ventricle and includes a small communication into the left atrium.

Later, multiple coronary fistulae communicating through a sinusoid and draining into the left‐sided chambers were confirmed by angiography.
