  • Title: Left main coronary artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula with severe aneurysmal dilatation.
    Author: Gandy KL, Rebeiz AG, Wang A, Jaggers JJ.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2004 Mar; 77(3):1081-3. PubMed ID: 14992936.
    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.
