They are usually discovered incidentally upon coronary angiography. Clinical manifestations are variable depending on the type of fistula, the severity of shunt, site of shunt, and presence of other cardiac condition.We report a 75-year-old woman  without any previous medical history cmplaining for atypical chest pain.
