Chronic coronary syndrome can be a result of atherosclerotic stenosis or vasospasms, but it can also be rarely caused by anatomical vascular anomalies, such as the coronary artery fistulas (CAF). The case report of a patient with CAF leading to myocardial ischemia through the steal phenomenon will be presented here. A relation of CAF to systemic scleroderma will be discussed, as this disease was also verified and treated in this particular man.

Keywords: Coronary artery fistula, Steal phenomenon, Systemic scleroderma
