Abstract

Traumatic coronary artery fistulae and intracardiac shunts due to penetrating wounds of the heart are rare[1–5], with only 19 reported cases in the literature[6–11] The communication, which may involve one or both coronary arteries[12], is classified into two major types depending on whether the drainage is into the left or right hear[13], We report a right coronary artery (RCA) right atrial fistula (RA) secondary to shrapnel injury in 1944.
