Moreover, to our knowledge, only two cases of coronary artery-left ventricular microfistulae demonstrated by transthoracic doppler echocardiography have been reported in the literature. Recently we exerienced a case of coronary artery-left ventricular microfistulae demonstrated by transthoracic doppler echocardiography, who was a 63 year old woman and visited for evaluation of chest pain.
