  • Title: Traumatic left anterior descending artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula with delayed pericardial tamponade.
    Author: Jeganathan R, Irwin G, Johnston PW, Jones JM.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2007 Jul; 84(1):276-8. PubMed ID: 17588434.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic coronary artery fistulas are rare, but 80% are secondary to penetrating injuries. Although the left coronary artery is involved in 46% of cases, these are usually associated with fistulas to the right ventricle. We describe a successful repair of a traumatic fistula from the proximal left anterior descending artery to the pulmonary artery after delayed presentation.
