title: Pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect with coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: The pulmonary blood supply in patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect is highly variable. Several cases have been reported in the literature in which a coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula, alone or in combination with additional vessels, supplies the pulmonary circulation. We report a case of successful repair during early infancy, with unique hemodynamic, clinical, and anatomic features. The literature is reviewed.
