  • Title: Minimally invasive sternotomy for ligation of congenital bilateral coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistulae: a case report.
    Author: Ghersi M, Thirunavukarasu P, Carrillo R, Schor J, Traad E, Williams D.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2007; 22(4):348-50. PubMed ID: 17661782.
    Abstract:
    Coronary artery fistulae (CAF) are the second most common type of anomalies of the coronary arteries, after anomalies of origin. We hereby present a rare case of bilateral coronary to pulmonary artery fistulae discovered incidentally in an asymptomatic young man, with abnormal electrocardiographic findings on routine examination. The fistulae were successfully ligated with a minimally invasive approach, which to our knowledge has not been previously reported.
