Coronary artery fistula is an uncommon vascular malformation. As the majority of patients remain asymptomatic, approximately half of the cases may be clinical undetectable. We report a case of a 61-year-old male with a fistula from the left main coronary artery to the superior vena cava, incidentally detected, in the setting of an acute myocardial infarction.
