Right coronary artery to left ventricle coronary cameral fistula in a cat

A six-month-old female intact domestic shorthair cat was presented for evaluation of a loud heart murmur. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed dilation of the left ventricle secondary to an abnormal vessel shunting blood into the left ventricular outflow tract at a high velocity during diastole. Multidetector computed tomography angiography revealed a coronary cameral fistula that originated at the right coronary artery, encircled the heart, and then terminated into the left ventricular outflow tract. This case report documents the first known case of a coronary cameral fistula in a cat. Multimodal imaging was an essential aspect to diagnosing the congenital lesion in this case.
