Prominent Thebesian veins, a rare congenital coronary anomaly presenting as acute myocardial ischemia.

ABSTRACT: Persistent Thebesian veins with the appearance of multiple coronary artery microfistulas are a rare finding and little is known about their physiologic and clinical features. In addition, few reports have demonstrated the perfusion status of patients with Thebesian veins. We report a 75-year-old woman referred for non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction due to prominent Thebesian veins who displayed a perfusion defect in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. .
