Abstract

An uncommon case of multiple coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistulas, associated with a mitral valve disease, is reported. The coronary fistulas presence was suspected on the ground of Doppler-echocardiography and the diagnosis was subsequently defined by coronary angiography. The utility of Doppler-echocardiography in the differential diagnosis from patent ductus arteriosus is discussed.
