Abstract:
A congenital coronary artery fistula is a rare condition, which is an abnormal communication of the coronary artery with the ventricles or atriums or the pulmonary artery. A case of 69 year-old man, complaining of recent aggravating chest pain for 5 months is reported. The coronary angiography shows coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula. Multidetector row CT shows coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula combined with aortopulmonary fistula via common channel and the fistulas were surgically ligated.
