Abstract

Coronary artery fistulas may be defined as abnormal connections between a coronary artery and either a heart chamber or the pulmonary artery. Although usually asymptomatic, they can become enlarged and rupture in rare instances, requiring prompt intervention. We present a case of a 66-year-old male patient with a left anterior descending-pulmonary artery fistula managed with coil embolization.

Keywords: angina; chronic stable angina; coronary artery; coronary artery fistula aneurysm; coronary to pulmonary artery fistula; transarterial coil embolization.
