Coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF) may occasionally be complicated by bacterial endocarditis. The actual anatomical site of infection has not been clearly defined. A 13-year-old boy with a CAVF and Streptococcus viridans bacteraemia is described. The origin of the fistulous tract and a vegetation in close proximity to the distal drainage site into the right ventricle was demonstrated by Doppler two-dimensional echocardiography.

D001164 Arteriovenous Fistula An abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. An A-V fistula usually leads to the formation of a dilated sac-like connection, arteriovenous aneurysm. The locations and size of the shunts determine the degree of effects on the cardiovascular functions such as BLOOD PRESSURE and HEART RATE.

D015150 Echocardiography, Doppler Measurement of intracardiac blood flow using an M-mode and/or two-dimensional (2-D) echocardiogram while simultaneously recording the spectrum of the audible Doppler signal (e.g., velocity, direction, amplitude, intensity, timing) reflected from the moving column of red blood cells.
