  • Title: Coronary artery-descending aorta fistula as an unusual collateral in a patient with postductal coarctation.
    Author: Kardos A, Musialek P, Csanády M.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1998 Aug; 44(4):431-3. PubMed ID: 9716212.
    Abstract:
    We report on the case of a 45-year-old man with recurrent syncope and angina with shortness of breath on exertion. Invasive and noninvasive diagnostic methods revealed severely stenosed bicuspid aortic valve, postductal coarctation of the aorta, and a coronary artery-descending aorta fistula. After surgical correction of the coarctation, ligation of the fistula, and aortic valve replacement, the patient's symptoms resolved.
