    Abstract:
    We reported an extremely rare case of congenital fistula of the right coronary artery to the left ventricle in a 71-year-old man who suffered from difficulty in breathing and palpitation. The diagnosis was confirmed by the right coronary angiography. The fistula was closed by Symbas's operation under cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Coronary angiography performed one year after the operation revealed that the right coronary artery was completely occluded by thrombus. But there were no signs of myocardial ischemia or infarction. And so we suspected that the dilated right coronary artery had not work as functional vessel.
