Abstract
A rare case of left coronary artery–pulmonary artery fistula is reported. Transoesophageal echocardiography was capable of precisely demonstrating the origin, the course and the drainage site of the fistula. In contrast, transthoracic echocardiography could visualise a drainage flow in the pulmonary artery only. In conclusion, transoesophageal echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis or exclusion of the form of coronary artery fistula.
