    Abstract:
    A 68-year-old female with heart failure was admitted on the probable diagnosis of patent ductus arteriosus. Coronary arteriography revealed the coronary-pulmonary artery fistulae which originated the bilateral coronary arteries. Excision of coronary artery fistulae was performed without cardiopulmonary bypass. The symptom of heart failure has been improved for postoperative 6 years. Coronary pulmonary artery fistula is commonly a meanders long and flowing into the pulmonary artery as one influx artery. We presume the surgical intervention without cardiopulmonary bypass would be adopted for the treatment of this type. Multidetector-row computed tomography (MD CT) is useful in verification to detect the perioperative fistulae.
