Case reports highlight misdiagnosis of coronary artery fistulas as ruptured sinus of Valsalva, suggesting imaging can improve diagnosis.

Coronary artery fistulas can cause misdiagnosis, leading to inappropriate treatment strategies.
Two of the three cases initially diagnosed as ruptured sinus of Valsalva were accurately identified using imaging techniques.
Coronary computer tomography angiography offers significant advantages over other imaging methods for diagnosing coronary anomalies.
Accurate diagnosis of coronary artery abnormalities is crucial for effective surgical intervention and patient outcomes.
