## TL;DR

This paper discusses a rare heart condition where a blood vessel abnormally connects to another, which can cause serious complications.

## Contribution

The paper presents a unique case of a coronary artery fistula with unusual features, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition.

## Key findings

- Coronary artery fistulas can present with a wide range of symptoms from asymptomatic to severe heart issues.
- The case described involves a giant tortuous dilatation of the right coronary artery.

## Abstract

Teaching points: A coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an uncommon anomaly characterized by a diverse clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic cases to severe complications, including heart failure and myocardial infarction.
