Abstract

Prenatal detection of an isolated congenital coronary artery fistula (ICCAF) requires an examination of the affected fetal hemodynamic situation by the fistula. Early pediatric cardiological presentation is needed, since prenatal changes may have relevant postpartal consequences.

Keywords: congenital heart diseases; coronary artery; fetal heart; prenatal detection; prenatal heart failure; prenatal high cardiac output.
