Left main coronary artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula with severe aneurysmal dilatation

Abstract

Coronary artery fistulas (CAF) are rare abnormalities that can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Most drain into the right ventricle or pulmonary artery, though a variety of other drainage sites have been reported. We report the results of the surgical closure of a symptomatic left coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula associated with a giant 10-cm aneurysm and discuss the management of coronary artery fistulas.
