A 63-year-old man, who underwent conventional coronary angiography, because of a finding of a confusing vascular structure, was referred for 64-multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT). His MSCT showed bilateral coronary-pulmonary artery fistula from both right and left coronary arteries via a dilated fistulous vascular malformation. Considering its reasonably high spatial and temporal resolutions, MSCT is regarded as a valuable technique to clarify the diagnosis in incidentally found equivocal cases of coronary fistula in conventional coronary angiography.

Article Synopsis
- Recent advancements in 64-channel multislice computed tomography (MSCT) have significantly enhanced the ability to noninvasively image coronary arteries, especially in patients with symptoms of coronary artery disease.
- A study involving 143 patients compared the accuracy of MSCT against traditional invasive coronary angiography, analyzing various performance metrics like sensitivity and specificity.
- The results indicated that MSCT demonstrates high diagnostic performance, with sensitivities reaching up to 96%, making it a reliable tool for assessing coronary artery disease in routine clinical practice, even in those with unstable angina symptoms.
